The kernel message only occurs when a data cache flush is needed for a specific page. Typically, that's when a segv or abort occurs. I believe that we are still doing full cache flushes on exec, exit and fork. I tried recently to kill the flush on fork but the kernel tried to kill init. This needs more study. Dave -- J.
