Hi,
By  applying the following mods (plse see below), i was able to have a 
user process that caused a machine check exception to be terminated (on 
a Maple platform), as expected. I was wondering why the PPC64 had a 
different ME handling than PPC which does send the SIGBUS to the process?
Thanks
Regards,
