I think I neglected to mention this.. Sorry! Linux is a disgusting hack; rather than "go native" they kept the osf/1 syscall interface (syscall numbers, args & flags) after they bootstrapped themselves off of osf/1. Since we already run the OSF/1 abi fairly well, we might as well use that in the linulater ;-) Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
