    PATCH: fork.c bug in 0.99.pl11 · 9a2aa682

    There is at least one known problem with 0.99pl11 - it's very minor and
    will not lead to any real problems, but it's also very easy to fix,
    so...
    
    The problem is a one-liner oversight in kernel/fork.c (thanks to TjL for
    noticing the symptoms - they aren't easy to see), which is fixed by the
    following patch:
    
    In fact, it's probably easiest to "apply" this patch by hand: just
    change the "p->tss.fs = KERNEL_DS" in fork.c to "p->tss.fs = USER_DS"
    and you should be fine.
