[nycbug-talk] Linux kernel crashing

[Pete Wright]

hi all,
    so apparently there is a nasty bug in the gnu/linux kernel that will 
crash pretty much most current kernels.  it requires a simple C program 
to do it.  here is the link:

http://linuxreviews.org/news/2004-06-11_kernel_crash/index.html

blah blah blah, this is a BSD list shut up pete.  but then i read this bit:

This code only works on x86 Linux machines. This code does not compile 
(makes no executable) on sparc64 sun4u TI UltraSparc II (BlackBird). 
This doesn't affect NetBSD Stable.

what does NetBSD stable have to do with this whole issue?  typo i hope?

-p
