It worked a while back under V.0. Why would anybody want to do this? Well, simply to be able to report what a long running or daemon process is doing by running ps. Does the kernel now make a copy of the memory for the process and keep a pristine version in kmem? -- Bernd Felsche, _--_|\ #include Metapro Systems, / sale \ Fax: +61 9 472 3337 328 Albany Highway, \_.--._/ Phone: +61 9 362 9355 Victoria Park, Western Australia v Email: bernie@metapro.DIALix.oz.au
