Took me a while to remember what it was about and why it concerned me :) There's a reason why I didn't commit that patch - I don't remember the details, but I vaguely recall someone convincing me that returning an error was not necessarily the right thing. It's been so long I'd have to search the archives to find out for sure. This took me back a long way, BTW - I'd only had commits for something like a month and a half when I wrote this :) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
