I haven't heard anything about the exec but I reported last week when an executable fails to read the image from the media due to a read error. execve() maps the first page to memory and calls exec_aout_imgact() which then accesses this page and fails. The system then gets a page fault while in kernel mode and dies. This is in 2_2_RELENG. I'd hate to have anyone be able to panic my system by putting in a bad floppy or CDROM and trying to execute something. What's the deal? Thanks, Steven
