Re: [9fans] Kernel crash bug

validname0 looks like it is trying to be too clever.
A better version of the first if statement would be:

        if((ulong)name < KZERO) {
                validaddr((ulong)name, 1, 0);
                if(!dup)
                        print("warning: validname called from %lux with user 
pointer", pc);
                ename = vmemchr(name, 0, 1<<16);
        } else
                ename = memchr(name, 0, 1<<16);
