Oracle 48: the blog formerly known as [oracle blackbutts]…

‘Blackbutt‘ is a common name for some types of eucalyptus trees found in Australia. It derives its name from the fact that it will not loose it’s stem’s bark, unlike other eucalyptus trees.Eucalyptus trees are commonly subjected to bush fires and a typical characteristic of the blackbutt eucalyptus tree is that it’s bark is very immune to fire. This will leave a black burned bark/stem after the bush fire is gone…
The blackbutts’ leaves are also a common food source for koalas!

[have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot? you see, the driver hooks a function by patching the system call table, so it's not save to unload it unless another thread is about to jump in there and do it's stuff and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory... hello?]
