I'll give you the point, Doug, but his point remains valid. On Microport V/AT,
what he wrote causes a kernel panic. That doesn't seem to be reasonable
behavior for an OS/library routine/whatever.
(P.S.: Your group suggestion was correct, but I would have limited it to
comp.unix.microport myself. I'm not limiting my reply in deference
to the original posting.)
