let us see.
The SUBJECT of this threat is: 3.2-stable, PANIC NUMBER 12
It is the latest in a series of threads, all started by david,
which talked about previous PANICs that he has been grappling
with since a recent upgrade to FreeBSD (among other things).
I guess that was not upfront enough. I will have to chide david
for being so devious with the topics he posts to hackers.
More seriously, I expect you were trying to be helpful with your
code-review response, but you really did completely misread the
messages that David has been posting. It would be easier to just
admit that and forget about it, than to try and convince people
that your reply made ANY sense given the messages David has been
posting while tracking down this very vexing ("PANIC NUMBER 12")
problem that we (RPI) have been trying to pin down.
