[openbeos] Re: Dead Beef ?

----- Original Message ----

I just loaded haiku image in QEMU and when the system was loading, it

crashed into the KDL with this message:



PANIC: free: asked to free invalid address 0xdeadbeef



Its a joke, isn't?




No it's simply a human readable value, that's easily searchable in the code.  
IE to indicate an uninitialised variable, pointer etc.  Other popular values 
are 0xcafebabe, 0xb00bbabe, 0x1234567 ... :)

euan.
