sendsig() on ia64 drops the lock around the copyout, see line 921 in machdep.c. It is not reacquired again until the very end of the function. You could change the assert at the top of the function to say that sigacts is not recursed, but sigacts is already a non recursive lock. Do you have local diffs to HEAD? -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
