Thanks a lot, Robert, it was indeed simple effective fix. So far no crash
:) With loads like pkg_adding emacs (which adds bunch of other packages)
on plain CURRENT, downloading FreeBSD ISO with axel (20 simultaneous
connection) through http works fine here.
Good news. We'll want to keep an eye on this one as the 7.0 release cycle
progresses, and there may be other unexpected edge case problems from the
rwlock change. On the whole it seems to have been very successful, but the
view that -CURRENT doesn't receive a whole lot of stress testing is
reinforced...
I think this is a little different case... I guess people are willing to
test -CURRENT on their desktops etc. but not on "servers". ie. when you
have immediate access to the machine you easily use -CURRENT but not
on the remote server.
Also, people don't tend to run firewalls on their desktops (as opposed to
servers where they dont). This is why I think this bug slipped. Not that
-CURRENT is so badly tested...
It looks that people are not so paranoid as they should be ...
But probably they paranoid enough to not use the current ;-)
