I created a slow link using kernel pppd at 1200 bps, and couldn't see
any problem for:
rlogin rlogin rlogin
Host A ----> Host B -----------------> Host A -----> Host B
FreeBSD FreeBSD slow link FreeBSD FreeBSD
The panic may have been caused by the following events:
hangup -> revoked pty -> pty's vnodes lose their mount point ->
kernel bug for fsync on vnodes with no mount point.
FreeBSD returns -1/EIO for reading from revoked ptys instead of the
more normal 0/no error. Some broken applications spin reading -1/EIO.
This may look like a hang.
