Sure, do you want it as a seperate commit or can I bundle it with the 'i' addition? :) Basically what I'm getting is that %i isn't portable over to other systems? In that case I guess it's not needed, I just expected %i to work as it does in libc. But if you need that %Z hack, I can have a delta ready for you to review in a couple of minutes. let me know, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
