NetBSD still does. Is there any reason why it has been dropped for FreeBSD? (I think gnumalloc falls under LGPL, so the Copyright issues aren't so hard here.) At least for the server, it seems to be a big deal. I used to link mine against the GNU version, and now that i didn't do it for the first time, i'm seeing it growing rather large, too. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
