I'm writing a program , which actively uses garbage collection, implemented in a separate library(it scans stack, heap, etc. and relies on the system, when trying to determine start and end addresses of these memory areas , but doesn't contain any assembler low-level code). It works just fine for kernels <=2.2.9 , but since I've installed 2.2.11 garbage collector behaves very strange: sometimes it crashes , sometimes it loops forever , sometimes it works Ok. I think there's a problem with MM in this new kernel. To be sure , I reloaded my computer with the old (2.2.3) version of kernel and everything works correctly. Are there any changes in MM for 2.2.11 , which require recompilation of user programs? What other reasons can lead to such effect?
