The exit() routine (in kern_exit.c) has a line I don't understand. Right after a process releases the memory for its page tables and u area, there is an spl5() call like so: vrelpt(u.u_procp); vrelu(u.u_procp, 0); (void) spl5(); /* hack for mem alloc race XXX */ Does anybody know what race they're talking about? Please respond directly to me. Thanks a great deal for any help you can offer me. Jeff Doughty Cadlinc, Inc. {sri-tsc,hplabs,nsc,decwrl}!turtlevax!jeff or if you can't reach USENET, try dan@sri-tsc
