ha ! something interesting !
so you say that maybe the cache wouldn't be atomic like the BUS and that
could explain the problem !? so why it is so difficult to find a paper at
Sun Microsystem which explain this little strange thing !? instead of
providing me your famous contact list, give me an URL.

ha sorry , i thought you would appreciate this joke.
no, i like Linux, i'm actually working on RT linux to make some evaluation
and test.
but i don't like very well some of Linux guy, you know they always want to
be right, they program usually nearly nothing (these kind of guy are able to
found a company just because they programmed 20 lines :-) but they always
want to explain you how the things goes, and so on , sometimes they pass all
the entire week to write messages on the internet just to talk by copying
documentation or repeating what someone else said... wow !  it's very
boring.

by the way , you are working on what Paul ! :-)
