I am having problems using the snapshot. It builds and boots
ok but as soon as I try to fork/exec another program it freezes.
I am using a Cyrix processor (without the 4MB page extensions),
and the latest Fiasco snapshot (including the released patches) as
well as the latest L4Linux server and patches. I don't have two
computers so I can't debug over a serial line and give you more
information, sorry.
