proc_getexecdata and proc_setexecdata both seem to be totally broken.
It seems like they have never actually been called.
proc_setexecdata never deallocates the old port rights.
proc_getexecdata never sets its *portspoly out parameter, so garbage goes
into the reply message.
I think the only co
Hi,
this is not so easy to see, esp with all the libports mayhem.
proc_getexecdata just memcpy()s the port array, and then returns. Will this
do the right thing? proc is essentially single threaded, by taking a lock
in message_demuxer. But as it seems to me, the message has not yet actually

I got a different Hurd crash than normal. I don't have any more
information than this, sorry. This occured when I was doing an
autobuilder run:
extfs.static: thread-cancel.c:55: hurd_thread_cancel: Assertion `! __spin_lock_locked
(&ss->critical_section_lock)' failed.
The crash is unusual in t
