Not to change the subject but my system is getting as many "double panics" as ever, and maybe even more with 2.4 than it did with 2.3.1(beta) (if that's possible). The system in question has two dumb serial ports, one runs at 9600 baud and the other runs at 1200/2400 baud. Oddly enough, I didn't notice the problem often enough to worry about it when I was running 2.2, but that might be becuase I was having so many other problems (like the 2-drive bug) that it got over-shadowed. -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.UUCP) | "Lester Moore - Four slugs from a .44 Beckemeyer Development Tools | no Les, no more." 478 Santa Clara Ave. Oakland, CA 94610 | - Headstone at Boot Hill UUCP: {uunet,ucbvax}!unisoft!bdt!david | Tombstone, AZ
