I apologize for belaboring it. I was just responding to some direct comments. There are apparently some in the congregation who are not members of the choir, or they wouldn't be arguing with me. :-) I don't particularly care, as my point is simply "I don't like SysV IPC". I think my mistake was backing that up with "and here are some examples of the things which caused that opinion". In any case, I'll stop. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
