Subject: [PATCH 14/16] UML - Prevent umid theft
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 13:15:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200603241815.k2OIF3sG005565@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

Behavior when booting two UMLs with the same umid was broken.  The
second one would steal the umid.  This fixes that, making the second
UML take a random umid instead.
