    Steven released a new patch #474, it is available at
    ftp://ftp.2bsd.com/2.11BSD/474
    https://www.retro11.de/data/211bsd/patches/474
    the other mirrors will follow soon.

    This patch is probably the smallest ever made, exactly 2 bits changed in the source code if you ignore comment changes. And in the compiled kernel also
    only two bits are changed. The patch is a follow-up of patch #150, see
    https://www.retro11.de/data/211bsd/patches/150
    which was issued on August 23rd, 1993. So final touches come now, to the
    day, 29 years later. Probably another record.

    And what is it about: get the stack extension logic right on J11-based systems. The full story is in #474 and #150. It came up as part of the 'MMR1 mysteries' activities.
