After applying the 1005 patches, typing "open dos" and switching
between HFT screens causes the kernel error message
Warning Switch list Corruption
to be printed on the console. Switching between HFTs without
running DOS doesn't cause this problem to occur. Has anyone
else seen this? Can people at Locus comment on the problem?
Can it be ignored?

Turning off console messages turns off _all_ console messages, though, which is not necessarily a good thing - it seems like a primitive workaround. I'm really looking forward to the next 19-disk update :-(. > Steve Dyer > dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka ...!{harvard,linus,ima,m2c,rayssd}!spdcc!dyer > dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu Ben -- Benjamin Fried ben@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu rutgers!columbia!ben
