- I have encountered the following problems with this big unified patch:
-
- 1) Psigintr() patches missing.
-
- 2) Reading from serial devices (ie /dev/modem1) blocks forever due to
- a lacking call to checkbttys() in sleep().
-
- 2) Howards sticky text is generally a good idea, but has one big draw-
- back. Only after few activity memory gets *very* fragmented -- I can't
- run gcc then! The only way to cure this is to reboot the system :(
- I'm not sure whether this is a bug in the implementation or the concept;
- I guess the last one is true.
-
- Kay.
