Aucbvax.4094 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dist2 Tue Sep 29 01:49:36 1981 FIXED: bug in kernel/sys/conf/m40.s dump code If ``.dump'' is defined to be 0 (i.e. off) in m40.s and one tries to take a dump anyway, the code was so arranged that one would fall through to ``start:'' instead of idling. To fix this, the ``br .'' instruction at line 101 should be moved one line farther down:

diff kernel/sys/conf/m40.s.old kernel/sys/conf/m40.s 101d100 br .

This is not a problem in mch.s as its dump code is not conditionally compiled. This fix should be applied to all tapes made before 9/29/81.
