Changelog for uml-patch-2.4.18-28.bz2

Release Date : May 21 2002

Released By : jdike

  • Fixed the bug which was closing file descriptors which should have been left open.
  • Panic messages are now sent to the mconsole notify socket if there is one. This caused an mconsole version increase, so you'll need the latest utilities to get the updated mconsole.
  • If run_helper_thread is passed a NULL stack pointer, it waits for the process to exit.
  • open_pty is now run in its own thread because libc can call fork when allocating a pts device. This should fix a nasty crash.
