This is on arch/powerpc. I traced through the linked lists in resource.c. Here is a partial list, with the addresses changed to single upper-case letters for readability. Also "N" is a null pointer: r=A p=N s=N c=K r=K p=A s=M c=P r=M p=A s=R c=N r=R p=A s=B c=N r=B p=B s=J c=B r=J p=A s=C c=N r=C p=A s=D c=N r=D p=A s=E c=N r=E p=A s=F c=N r=F p=A s=G c=N r=G p=A s=H c=N r=H p=A s=N c=N r=B p=B s=J c=B r=J p=A s=C c=N r=C p=A s=D c=N r is the resource itself, p is the parent, s is the sibling, and c is the child. As you can see, most nodes point back to parent "A", and have null children. But one node, "B", points to itself both as parent and child. I believe this is the problem, but I haven't confirmed that, nor have I determined how the list gets into this state. Steve Stefan Roese wrote: > Hi Steve, > > On Friday 09 November 2007, Steven A.
