I'd recommend using the PRE_SMPNG tag the first time around. On the other hand, you're probably a lot better off asking the author to MFC the function, then updating to 4.1-STABLE (see "staying stable with FreeBSD" in the handbook). If he MFC's it, you'll get it gratis. If he doesn't, you'll be in a lot better position to try making it work yourself - assuming he hasn't explained why it won't work. If you have to stay with 3.x, repeat the above with 3.5-STABLE instead of 4.1. Oh yeah - the source is in the CVS repository; it's in lib/libc/i386/gen. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
