Why was FrameMaker involved?


Some of you might still be wondering how the FrameMaker fm_flb was involved in this crash. After all, the authors specifically changed rootdir to zero and then ran the UNIX ls -l command.

Actually, any command that needed a file (or device, as in the case of fm_flb needing /dev/ticotsord ) would have triggered the crash in the same way. Sure, from our point of view, it sure felt like we had beat the other processes to the punch, but that just wasn't the case. And the proof is in the system crash dump files!
