Subject: sock_init hangs on 0.97pl2
Date: 8 Sep 1992 18:11:21 GMT

About 3 times out of 5, upon bootup on 0.97pl2, sock_init (when
intializing the AF_UNIX sockets; I haven't installed the tcpip patches)
hangs the system and I have to reboot. This usually happens about
15 seconds after sock_init's message appears on the screen; possibly
whatever comes after sock_init (the next message to be displayed if it
_doesn't_ hang is the partition table) is what's actually hanging.
Has anyone had similar problems? Should we look at this part of the code
to make sure that nothing's wrong with it?

This is a 386sx with 4 megs ram; 213 meg IDE drive partitioned
with 3 Linux partitions and 1 (small) DOS partition.

I'm gonna upgrade to pl4 in a few minutes if anyone thinks this will
help, tell me.
