> sounds familiar. this patch needs to be applied to the kernel: Like Lucio and Cinap, I am skeptical that this is the fix.
It's a real bug and a correct fix, as we've discussed before, but if the kernel loses this race I believe it will crash dereferencing nil. Lucio showed a kernel that was very much still running. ... unless the Plan 9 kernel has changed since I last worked on it and now kills only the current process when a bad kernel memory access happens (this is what Linux does, but I think that's very questionable behavior).
