--- Comment #17 from Mikhail Teterin <mi@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #16)

I'm confused now... The entire patch-bug1550891 is FreeBSD-specific. If some
other, cross-platform, interface was used before, maybe, we ought to go bac=
k to
it?

> If cap_rights_limit is undesired [...]

I don't know, if is desired or otherwise. All I know, is that I went to upd=
ate
firefox to address a CVE, and got a non-starting executable.

You kindly explained, what's happening -- by pointing me at this bug-report.
Clearly, I was not alone with the problem.

I then suggested, the failure to freeze should not be fatal -- and you invi=
ted
patches. The one-liner I proposed solves the problem -- the freezing is sti=
ll
attempted, but a failure is no longer fatal.

Now, maybe, it is not good enough, but I resent having to recompile the ker=
nel
-- and rebooting -- just to upgrade one application. (BTW, what about
Spidermonkey and Thunderbird?)
