has anybody else noticed that mlockall() causes a 100 %
reproduceable oops at alpha-systems running 2.0.27 ??
The same happened with 2.0.26, at i386 the call seems
to work. The oops happens in line 129 of mlock.c :
char c=get_user((char *)start);
i'd really like to work on a fix, but don't even
understand the __asm__ directive some lines down, sorry.
