Subject: uml: fix infinite mconsole loop
From: Karol Swietlicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This patch takes care of a problem with the stopping code.
The function inside the while condition returns 0 to signify a problem. A
problem could be for example a bad command or a bad version of the mconsole
client. A bad command would terminate the stopping loop and resume the
kernel. This is a problem.
A better solution is to make the loop infinite and don't leave it until we are
explicitly told to.
