David,
I was looking into the vmm code and trying to work out exactly how to fix
this, and there are
some questions in my mind - mainly a few cases (involving multiple vma
updates) which
I'm not sure about the cleanest way to tackle.
But before I bother anyone with those, I thought I ought to go through
the earlier discussions
that you had while coming up with what the fix should be. Maybe you've
already gone over
this once.
Could you point me to those ? Somehow I haven't been successful in
locating them.
