Yes. But the error is returned from the function, *NOT* passed in errno. So perror will print what happens to be in errno, which remained there from ages ago. > >> Kernel panic: Segfault with no mm > > This looks like an umlinux error, right? > Yes, I should have mentioned it. > > > If so, get a debugger, attach and inspect ;-). > I did try to, but I weren't able to pinpoint the bug.
