[Bad example of a incomplete thought. . .] That last presumes a hardware environment with lots of RAM (such as 16 GiBytes) --which I usually do not have access to. Having such is why the report was from a powerpc64 context: that is where I've access to that much RAM for FreeBSD. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
