The clean 1.3.88 fails with the : odd SIG11 and SIG6 but the patched version is perfect. Excellent work!! : : (I've tagged a copy of Bernd's script on below for those linux-kernel : people who missed it the first time around and want to stress their : machines a little. On the subject of SIG11: the memtest program on sunsite : does an excellent job of sniffing out bad RAM and even found a buggy : motherboard for me which kept gettting SIG11's) :
System: Linux 1.3.88, gcc-2.7.2, libc-5.3.9, ld.so-1.7.14
My memory tests ok with memtest86.
Stresstesting gives the following result:
Linux 1.2.13: no problems! Linux 1.3.88: SIG11 Linux 1.3.88 (patched): SIG11
Other programs: Maelstrom, Netscape-2.01: SIG11
Any suggestions?
