I've noticed that sometimes emails to haiku-commits will come looking
like replies to the previous push instead of as a new email thread.
I've discovered that this is because the new email affects identical
components as the previous email which means that it also has an
identical subject. For example this just happened with Ingo's few
recent pushes concerning package management.

[haiku-development] Commit message subject line (John Scipione)

I've discovered that this is because the new email affects identical
components as the previous email which means that it also has an
identical subject. For example this just happened with Ingo's few

Would it be possible to add some sort of unique identifier such as the
short hash of the last commit to the email subject so that each email
will be treated as a new thread? It's a small detail I know, but, it

I don’t know who is the counter (or counters) in order to increase price

Not sure I understand what you mean. Would you mean 16 lines dumped instead

[haiku-development] The Terminal: MuTerm rudiments for multi-byte character sets designation. To drop or not to drop? (Siarzhuk Zharski)
Dear Colleagues,
during trying to resolve a Trac issue #6227, related to support of
Chinese GB18030 encoding I have found some code that is looking like
dead or semi-functional. I'm speaking about support of so known
designation of 96/94 multi-byte characters sets, mentioned in in Ecma-35
as GZDM4, G1ZDM4, G2ZDM4, G2ZDM4 and G1ZDM6, G2ZDM6, G2ZDM6 commands.
Looks like original MuTerm 2.3 from which we have started our Terminal
development had some rudimentary support of such functionality for

Will do that, was afraid of potentially allowing valid failures to

After some further debugging with Matt, the problem is as follows:
The check for a ref count of 1 + object on the stack fails to
correctly detect that the object is in fact a stack object, because
we're either unable to get thread_info, or the info object returned
has stack_base and stack_end set to 0, which of course causes us to be
unable to determine that the object is in the thread's stack range.

This sounds like an issue very early in the boot process. Maybe even in the
stage 1 boot loader. IIRC since I wrote it a few people changed the code

Hello!
I think You should also put this information on the haiku-os.org forum. Not
everyone subscribes the mailing list.
Haiku General Mailing List is probably the better place for this type of

It would be a chance for the writer to freely express their views and

Regarding EFI boot mode, I'm following your branch, Fredrik, but I

I've investigated what needs to be done and experimented a bit with the linking,
but so far I havn't had time to sit down and code on anything more
