Lighter than the Garncacha (below), this is the most impressive sub-three-pound red wine of the year. It is not dissimilar to a fresh, strawberry-juice-scented Beaujolais, but without any of the off-putting bubblegum and banana nuances so often associated with the Gamay grape variety.

User programs do not refer to send or receive directly, but any time one of the system calls listed in fig 1-9 is invoked, either directly or by a library routine, sendrec is used internally and a software interrupt is generated. Each time a process is interrupted (whether by a conventional I/O device or by the clock) or due to execution of a software interrupt instruction, there is an opportunity to redetermine which process is most deserving of an opportunity to run. Of course, this must be done whenever a process terminates, as well, but in a system like MINIX 3 interruptions due to I/O operations or the clock or message passing occur more frequently than process termination.
