Problem Report: Segfault in oskit-mach

["B. Douglas Hilton" <doug.hilton@engineer.com>]

Hi,

I worked all day attempting to recompile oskit and oskit-mach
and have yet to duplicate my astounding stroke of luck last
weekend where I managed to get oskit-mach to boot.

Sadly, it's been instant reboots all day long. I finally got it
to crash at a trap now though on my latest compile. Here
is the info I have gleaned from my debugger:

In kern/x86/gate_init.c

   211    gate->offset_low = offset & 0xffff;
   (gdb) s

   Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation Fault.
   0x00156173 in trap_from_kernel ()
   (gdb) l
   206    /* Fill a gate with particular values. */
   207    OSKIT_INLINE void
   208    fill_gate(struct x86_gate *gate, unsigned offset, unsigned
   short selector,
   209                unsigned char access, unsigned char word_count)
   210    {
   211            gate offset_low = offset & 0xffff;

( Machine reboots upon execution of line 211 )

Thats it for tonight. I don't know what I'm doing differently now,
but I just cannot seem to get this thing to compile and work anymore.
Oh well. Tomorrow's another day.
