I didn't have any particular ones in mind; it's just that past experience leads me to believe that it is an important datapoint. Particularly if some people duplicate your results and others don't. It's amazing how often such discrepancies turn out to be in something that everyone is taking for granted... For your particular problem, it would be interesting to discover whether the behavour changes on a SPARC Solaris/CDE platform. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe java" in the body of the message
