Do you think it gives a correct > impression of the nature and severity of the issue? Let me restate what I said above, in more explicit way: 1. The problem fixed actually caused new glibc to fail for threaded linux processes. This is a serious problem for non-default linux-base ports. It is not a serious problem for linprocfs code itself. 2. I oppose against making any promises of the quality of the linux emulator, esp. in the release notes, esp. making a statement that "flash9 works !". --4QzzFpAwbwI4hdN6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkjzXscACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jfzQCbBOhWiqMGkV2wKwNmDCPTwXTl r60AoI9XIrxnSevAcMZxHlY1SoX+cP7H =Pm9i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4QzzFpAwbwI4hdN6--
