Setexc question



Hi,

I didn't have time to check... But now that a process is able to set
it's termination vector, haven't we introduced a backdoor to get into
supervisor mode? In that case I would propose to run the code in
user mode...

Generelly (Super and Supexec): wouldn't it be a good idea not to
terminate a process, but let it continue to run in user mode? If it then
tries to do something it needs super priviliges for, it will generate
some sort of signal which could then be catched and handled...

regards, jr
