Aucbvax.5454 net.bugs.2bsd utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dist2 Sat Dec 12 04:40:09 1981 FIXED: problems in systems with more than 2 megabytes of memory Due to problems with integer vs. unsigned types, the distributed system didn't properly deal with large amounts of memory (> 2 megabytes). Three files must be changed to correct this:

diff kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c.old kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c 81d80 = 32767L)break;

diff kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c.old kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c 24a25 > unsigned size; 57c58,59 register unsigned a; > unsigned size;

diff kernel/inlcude/sys/map.h.old kernel/include/sys/map.h 3c3 unsigned short m_size;

These changes should be made to all tapes written before 12/11/81.
