Hi Kris, you're quite right but: former what I mean to say is that the problem *exists*. Nobody can write a syscall with more than 8 arguments and this is conceptually wrong. In my opinion this is a mistake, no assumptions might be done on number of arguments (I've not seen a documentation about that somewhere too...). Latter, it could be a security problem. I've seen a lot of bug declared *not exploitable* exploitted by other coders after some times. Nothing is impossible. I wanted to point out that. I think this is different respect VFS pointers, don't you agree? rookie _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
