1) Looking for an archive of bugs :
   ==============================

We will be glad to get a archive of all yet-reported bugs in 4.2,
in this newsgroup or anywhere else.
So, if anyone is able to tell me how we can get such a list
(or best, send it to me at:
		Matra Datasysteme
		R & D
		Parc d'activite de Bois d'arcy
		1 avenue Niepce
		78180 MONTIGNY LE BRETONNEUX
		FRANCE
				)

thanks to her or him in advance.

2) Bug in ptrace() :
   ===============

Calling ptrace(2) with a pid < 0 is an easy way to crash
a 4.2 system (like a Sun 3 ).
Ptrace() does not check in the pid is beetween bound before
calling pfind() . Of course, we can say also that pfind()
does not check the pid before hashing it.
