That's an interesting definition of "broken" you're using here.  That
system is working perfectly for me on GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd.

If that is the niveau you decide to use to discuss methods that are new
to you, different from those you're already used to, then there is no
use in continuing this "discussion" with you.


I was under the assumption that the Hurd people (I'm aware that only
Alfed replied so far) would be interested in replacing -- well, in some
way -- deadlocked UNIX techniques with superior ones.

I'm somewhat confused and disappointed, but I'll carry on.
