Hello, I've (accidentally, because of a broken pidfile) noticed yesterday that root can kill [acpi_task1] (PID 8 on my system, FreeBSD 5.4-p5/i386). Killing it resulted in an immediate and total lockup of the system.
I gather that processes with [ ] around their name are parts of the kernel. Shouldn't they be protected from kills? Note this was a standard kill, not a kill -9 or anything mean like that. Cheers Benjamin
