One of the issues that the release team discussed is the issue which 8841 attempts to resolve, namely that if we have bugs elsewhere in our code, we can end up with FD_SET calls touching memory outside the allocated fd_set structure, which means random bit flips in other in-memory structures. Since the semantics on Windows are different, and this would just be adding an assertion that we don't re-introduce an old bug that we believe fixed, it didn't seem worth the effort to bring it into 1.8, so we are probably going to not treat it as a release blocker. -Ben _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
