  Again, if any process becomes unkillable on *nix system, there is at
*least* a bug in the kernel. This should never be the case. 

  yes, there is likely also a bug in UML.

  I don't have a formula. Hugh sees is pretty much at least once if not more
often in regression testing of FreeS/WAN. 

  Btw, I experience segment faults with 2.4.22-7 on a 2.4.20 host with skas
patch. Again, not trivially reproducible, but they do occur
frequently. Enough that since this is isn't RH9, I went back to 2.4.19-47,
which was pretty solid. I haven't tried things in between, but I could.
