The answer becomes evident if you use "pmap -s" instead of "pmap" to display the address spaces. The T1000/T2000 make significant use of larger pages; different platforms have different policies for page size selection, and this can cause segment "breakage" when the segment is not an even multiple of the larger page size. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
