is asking for trouble (sequential database enumerations can get caught
in an infinite loop). The yp_mkdb(8) utility avoids putting such records
into a database, but ypxfr does not. Today I got bit by a NULL entry in
one of the amd maps on my network, which is served by a SunOS master.
The map was transfered successfully to my FreeBSD slave, but attempting
to dump it with ypcat(1) caused ypserv(8) to transmit the same record
over and over again, making the map appear to be infinitely large. I
finally noticed the problem while testing a new version of amd under
development at the Columbia CS department, which began gobbling up insane
amounts of memory while trying to swallow the map.
To deal with this problem, I'm modifying ypxfr to watch for records
with zero-length keys and turn them into something less destructive
before writing them to the database.
overruns (not that it was a problem, but it could be):
1) Doubled the number of receive buffers in the DMA chain to 64.
2) Do packet receive processing before transmit in the interrupt routine.
'read' command to return an error if the user fails to supply any
input withink a given time period. The behaviour of this option is
similar to that of the like-named option in ksh93.

if it is in 10Mbps mode and gets certain types of garbage prior to
the packet header. The work-around involves reprogramming the
multicast filter if nothing is received in some number of seconds
(currently set at 15). As a side effect, implemented complete support
for multicasting rather than the previous 'receive all multicasts'
hack, since we now have the ability to program the filter table.
Fixed a serious bug which crept in with the timeout() changes;
the cookie was only saved on the first timeout() call in fxp_init()
and wasn't updated in the most common place in fxp_stats_update()
when the timeout was rescheduled. This bug would have resulted in
an eventual panic if fxp_stop() was called (which happens when any
interface flags are changed, for example).
Fixed a bug in Alpha support that would have caused the TxCB
descriptor chain to span a page boundry, causing serious problems
if the pages didn't happen to be contiguous.
Removed some gratuitous bit masking that was left over from an
older implementation.
Fixed a bug where too much was copied from the configuration
template, spilling over into memory that followed it.
Fixed handling of if_timer...it was cleared too early in some cases.

It seems I didn't count my 0's properly when adding the new masks into
icu_vector.s pushing SWI_AST_MASK off the end of the array and screwing
up the indexing for SWI_CLOCK_MASK.
Fix the bug icu_vector.s and also reformat the code in both icu_vector.s and
apic_vector.s so that it will be much harder to make the same mistake in
the future.
