It isn't needed when developing new software, but it would greatly facilitate porting efforts of software that uses it. Yes, I can deep-hack the software to not use that function but this would mean a lot of changes and will be tedious to support with future versions of the software. I will try to use devel/libdlmalloc to see what happens, e.g. whether there are other "unresolvable" problems with the source :) Greetings! --=20 Vasil Dimov gro.DSBeerF@dv Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence. -- Edsger W.
