Hi,
I'm experiencing situations, where my Shark, updated to 6.1.5, can't exec or
fork
or otherwise change the mappings of processes anymore. E.g. I start
date
in a pre-exsiting shell, and the process hangs in vm_map forever. Especially
annoying
is that killing other processes hangs, too, so the only fix is to
hardware reset, including full fsck.
Culprit is the kernel; same problem before updating userland!
The machine was rock stable with netbsd-5.1.3
I've heard the suspicion that his is not Shark-specific, but applies to other
small-vm-space (32bit) architectures, too; I've not seen it elsewhere.
Ideas?
[Actually, I would have rebooted into a -5 but I updated mistakenly userland,
too...
