Are any of the following TRUE? 1. FreeBSD is affected by these vectors only if VM86 is turned ON. 2. If somebody is using VM86, s/he must be using DOSEMU or some other DOS emulator also (I can't think of anything else one would use VM86 for). 3. DOSEMU or any other DOS emulator re-initializes the DOS vectors for virtualization. Basically, what I am guessing is that probably we can fix the problem during vm86 or DOSEMU initialization. I am going to enable vm86 on my system and see what happens. Right now I am not experiencing any problems, and that's probably because I do not have vm86 enabled. --Carlos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
