Subject: Maple: killing a  process that causes a machine check exception
Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 16:59:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44732357.4000506@yahoo.fr> (raw)

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,
