  I found another SunOS4.1.4 tmpfs bug that is still unresolved.

  I think there are two tmpfs bugs, they are different, and the first
can be fixed but the second is not still able to be fixed.

  The first tmpfs bug:
    (/tmp is mounted as tmpfs)
    $ cd /tmp
    $ mknod aaa p
    $ ln aaa bbb    # should be hard-link
    $ ls -l
  and then kernel panics.

  I know this well. This can be fixed by modload the 8lgm_tmpfs.c.

However

  The second tmpfs bug:
    (/tmp is mounted as tmpfs)
    $ cd /tmp
    $ mkdir aaa
    $ chmod -w aaa
    $ cd aaa
    $ ln -s bbb ccc    # should be symbolic-link (not hard-link)
and then
panic: kmem_free: block already free

  I don't know how to avoid the second bug.
  Though I modload the 8lgm_tmpfs.c, the second bug is not fixed
  and kernel panics.

  Does anyone know about the second tmpfs bug?
  Please tell me how to avoid the bug.
