No, dup_mm tries to copy memory of the current task into the new task. But we see this message in kern.log: Xorg:2967 map pfn expected mapping type write-back for d0000000-e0000000, got write-combining This comes from reserve_pfn_range in arch/x86/mm/pat.c. In another note: I was able to do a kernel compilation with the kernel under xen that couldn't run the X server due to this forking problem. bjb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
