Description
|
If an unrecoverable hardware error occurs and its effects can
be confined to a single user process, that process is killed
(as opposed to panicking the entire system) and the contract
holder notified. However, no message is given to the user
as to why the process was killed. In Solaris 8 and 9, a
message was given to the user (and the system rebooted,
as Solaris 8 and 9 did not have the concept of a contract).
This can be confusing to the user who doesn't know why his or
her process was killed.
