apache spins on signal 1 in -current

2001-07-30 Thread Mike Holling
I've got an ongoing problem with apache. Sometimes in normal operation, and always when sent a SIGHUP, the main httpd process will spin and consume the cpu. GDB reveals that it's stuck somewhere in a thread handling routine: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x2862a31c in _thread_sig_h

RTP and RTSP support in libalias?

1999-05-05 Thread Mike Holling
Apple's QuickTime 4 uses these protocols for streaming QuickTime, and I've got users asking me if the FreeBSD NAT box can be made to handle it. Looks like these protocols are new internet standards, has anyone integrated them into libalias yet? If not I might give it a shot, but I'm probably in ov

IDE controller detected in linux but not FreeBSD?

1999-02-22 Thread Mike Holling
Last summer I encountered a P133 machine where linux detected the IDE controller, but FreeBSD did not. I wrote it off as a fluke. I've now come into possession of a stack of DECpc 433dxLP machines. These are 486/33 machines in a slimline desktop case. They have integrated IDE controllers, and I
