I would like to get on the record that I have never fully convinced myself that the gzip did the right thing to the vm system, in particular I just called functions I could find usage of that did what I kindda needed, not quite knowing if I needed to do more than I did. What I wanted to say with that was, don't expect the version prior to that patch to have been >correct< maybe the vm system just was more tolerant before... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
