Hi,
I was running something on my Dell dual p3 box (optiplex gx300). my kernel

__rwsem_do_wake(): wait_list unexpectedly empty
[4191] c5966f60 = { 0001 })
kenel BUG at rwsem.c:99!
invalid operand:

Nope. BSD manual pages (the authentic ones anyway) say that the timeout value
may well be written back but that this was a future enhanceme

With the help of a number of contributors, Steven Cole and I have
managed to cut the list of undocumented configuration symbols from the
