Actually, I do have a clue.. Was the machine under load? I never
implemented the hooks to poll from trap() -- this means that the only
time the polling code will get called is if the context switch code
does not find a process ready to run. If the machine is under load,
it will never get called.
If I'm reading the x86 trap() code correctly, I don't much care for
where Luigi put the hook on x86. I think it belongs in userret().
Would you like to try this totally untested patch?
Cheers,
Drew
