Re: weirdo panic

Hello!

How can I tell GNU Mach _not_ to reboot the system on this ...

... type of problem?

I'm probably getting the same error while trying to build glibc, too,
and can reproduce it -- but I couldn't write down the error message,
because the system immediatelly rebooted.

How can I help to debug this?
Shall I recompile GNU Mach with the patch Roland posted in this thread?

I'm running Debian GNU/Hurd K8.


Regards,
 Thomas


P.S.
The error from above and GNU Mach's shutdown message "init: notifying
[...] of shutdown... halting Mach (flags 0x8)...
In thight loop: hiy ctl-alt-del to reboot" won't show up on my screen if
I have '/hurd/console ...' running.
Shouldn't these messages get passed through?
