15-213 Lab #5 Q&A


Monday, March 18, 2002

Question:

In the reference output, I see the following line:
   ...
   Job [0] (2008) terminated by signal: Interrupt
   ...
   

This looks to me like a bug; there should be no job 0. Is this a bug? Do we need to duplicate it?

Answer:

Yes, this is a bug. This is a minor glitch in the reference solution to Lab #5. It attempted to play with a dead job. We've fixed the solution and created a new tar file within the L5 directory, which replaces the old one. We're very sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
