Hey ppl i have two systems effected by this bug, but it occured to
me that since both are dual's (one has yet to get its 2nd cpu) only one
cpu can be effected at once.
First question, is it possible for the 2nd cpu to detect the other
has been shutdown?
Second question can someone write a patch to detect and handle
this? Maybe setting some kernel flag or something so a system program can
take mesures like ejecting all users and logging the event?
Hows this sound? I'd be interested in feedback on this issue

Cheers Adam
