I assume exim4 got killed, though? If you can figure out what bytes are present at c01ff000, that may give us a clue. -Kees > > Gr{oetje,eeting}s, > > Geert > > -- > Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
