Will things like this make it to -stable, and thence to 2.1-RELEASE (whenever that is)? And as long as I have your attention, are there, anywhere, any kernel debugging hints for FreeBSD? For example, tricks to examining data structures via DDB or in a crash dump, or how to identify the process that crashed, or how to get a stack trace for another process, or things of that nature? I'm going to put my head to tracking down these crashes that have been keeping me from being able to run News, and any help anyone can give me, or pointers in the right direction, would be very much appreciated.
