Just another kernel memory DoS, whoopeee. Its also prehistoric. Chris Woods reported it in 1995 and there are older BSD reports/bugs. Its a subset of the far funkier problem fd = nil for(;;) { open AF_UNIX fd3 if(fd != nil) stuff AF_UNIX fd down fd3 fd = fd3 while(!full(fd)) { open AF_UNIX fd2 stuff AF_UNIX fd2 down fd close fd2 } } Queue data as well for better party trick. Please don't pass on the improved version to the reporter. I'm having fun seeing if they are bright enough to work it out themselves Alan
Not sure what to do about this one. I suppose Greg knows :)
It's not an issue at all, so I'm closing it.
