Hello, I'm just guessing why current BSD panic() when a problem occurs, all modern operating systems solve the problem instead of crashing suddently and corrupting all your data without saving your work. Yes, why this function exists? There is no way to solve a problem without panic'ing? Is panic really needed? Imagine someone working on something really important and his computer just panic, his work not saved everybody shout at him in the corporation. He lose his job, his wife, his dog, everything is wrong, just because of a panic() ! Seriously, I really hate when I play some music that suddenly the music get stucked in a infinite loop, why ? I don't know because the panic does not core dump. But after some search I found that the panic was done because of conky. How the hell conky can panic FreeBSD? We are in 2011 ! I think even Window 2000 does not crash on a user-land software. I'm guessing now, if minix panic when a bloated crappy software is running. I think Andrew is in the right way. -- Demelier DavidReceived on Tue Jan 11 2011 - 19:11:47 UTC
