Just wanted to thank you for the two patches that you submitted. We were actually aware of the problem with the page table pages not faulting correctly, but your (correct) fix is (much) better than the temporary hack that I was entertaining. There still might be problems in the 386 version of copyin/ copyout with regard to page table directory entries not being checked correctly ...but this is somewhat of a seperate issue I think. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your fixes; they've both been committed to the FreeBSD CVS tree and will appear in our next release. -DG
