Just to add a little bit more info, Mumit submitted a patch which probably will fix the problem but the patch uses malloc for temporary storage. I've recently been bitten by the use of malloc in initialization code so I've been futilely trying to think of some way around this. It's probable that Mumit's use of malloc won't really cause a problem but I'd like to avoid it if I can, so I've been letting this simmer in my unconscious mind for a while to see if it comes up with something interesting. So, far, however, the only thing that seems to be surfacing are jingles from old commercials... cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
