Then why is the panic on the server triggered by the vi SEGV? No vi SEGV -> server goes down normally; vi SEGV -> server panics on shutdown. > However, I cannot reproduce the message since that reboot, with or > without NFS activity. It is somewhat tricky. There's actually only one file I've got that causes vi to SEGV (and the server to panic on shutdown). I'll have to look into vi source to find out how the vi.recover file is created. Maybe some locking is involvled, too. Bjoern -- (sig_t*)NULL To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
