Thanks for the info.

Can you please ktrace it and use linux_kdump to have a look what is the
most likely cause of this? It would be good to know what's missing in
the kernel.

I don't understand what you want to tell. If you talk about core@, they
are not involved in the linuxulator (like most other committers).

Any long-term release looks better than what we have now. A RPM based
one (like CentOS) looks more easy to port because of the existing RPM
infrastructure, than any non-RPM based one.

If someone would give CentOS a quick try, emulation@ would be
interested to know if the linux programs run on FreeBSD or not.
