Signal Distractions
It took a bit longer to get the dual machine up and running again - it has two 500 MHz PIIIs and the hard drive is a bit older as well, so it took about two hours to update the source repository and get it compiled.
While waiting for the machine to complete its task, I had the time to look into some other known issues of our code, and clean the signaling code a bit. We are now able to handle signals with interrupts turned on, some minor bugs went away, and there is now support for sigsuspend() and sigpending() - nothing earth shaking, but definitely a step into the right direction.
There were some other distractions, so I played around with SMP only shortly - I am just sure now that it still doesn't work :-)
Shortly after the second CPU steps in, both CPUs seem to come to a halt. I don't know yet what's causing this, but it seems to be a single basic problem - let's just hope I don't waste too much time searching for it.

Can we raise more funds to keep things going? You are doing great! Where do we contribute?
I agree, I love seeing things move along.

You can contribute directly using this link.

Also, if Axel sets up a Google Adsense account he can put adverts at the top or side of the blog. With the amounts of hits I can imagine this blog gets, and so long as a few of us click-through, I can guess it will make between $5-$15 a day.
Its not much, but it all counts!
Thanks,
