Boom. ``load'' yields ``\'' as output and seems to take a random number of times to crash the environment. A BTX register dump results. (I can stick some debugging printf's in there if that is deemed useful. Looking the set code it seems weird that this happens though.) >How-To-Repeat: Type ``set'' or ``load'' a few times at the loader's command prompt. >Fix: Don't do that :-) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
