Hi,
I've had scheme crashing my netbsd-1.0A for sometime now, but didn't know
why til today.
I started scheme with command 'scheme -edwin', and evaluated (edit) to
use the full screen edwin.
Under edwin, I tried to load a file from 6.001 locker using c-x-f.
Then netbsd locked up and crashed when I asked edwin to complete a directory
name.
Upon the next bootstrap, save_core reported the cause of crash:
nfs_readdir: not hungry
I think the problem is netbsd's nfs code. both scheme and 6.001 lockers
are attached thru nfs. It could also be that scheme is a linux binary,
and netbsd has compatiblity problem with it.
I realize netbsd 1.1 probably has fixed those, if only SIPB has an install
script for 1.1, then the problem isn't one at all. (* hint *)
The dumped cores are still on my harddisk if anyone is interested in looking
into the problem.
David
