No offense to Karl, but you should not apply these patches to >the patchkit. No offense to Nathan, but I'm competent enough to verify submitted patches myself. I appreciate his work and its certainly valuable to the majority of 386bsd users. But there are still a large number of people out there who don't want to blindly apply his "unofficial- official" patches. I'm collecting posted patches myself and apply them if needed after verifying that they don't break anything else. So please stop this somewhat arrogant and god like behaviour and don't withhold valuable work done by others (i.e. the signal 6 fix). If somebody else managed to download the patches before they got deleted I would be very grateful if I could get a copy of it. Regards - Tibor Sashegyi (cproto@abel.cs.curtin.edu.au)
