Subject: query: tcpdump versus atomic?
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:23:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AD5522B.50101@gmail.com> (raw)

Anybody know what code path tcpdump changes to running atomic?

Is there a function to test whether you're running atomic?

Dutifully testing, and noticed a strange anomaly.  When the code is
running normally, no problems.  When running tcpdump on the client, no
problems.  When running tcpdump on the server:
