any hints for where to look for a fix for this odd crash on shutdown? i must admit, lately, i've been rather frustrated with the lack of either maintainance or backporting in the 2.4 UML series. of course this frustration is mostly because of my lack of ability to move forward past issues such as these. but also the UML web-site + blaise's + other patches out there along with all kinds of instructions on combinations on what to use....
the mechanisims UML uses, jmps ptrace and the like, are not terribly familar to generic programmers. Is there a UML: How it Works for Developers - document somewhere? or must we be so dedicated that we browse the mailing list archives and look for explainations piecemeal as responses to queries (as we've seen recently on the list)? appoligies for any toes i'm stepping on here - i want to help - i just need help to get there...
