(I'll check this at work, T1 there, 28.8K at home). I know, stable can still run a.out, but in the case of netscape, that means pulling in libc, libm, libg++, libstdc++, and a lot of X libs that wouldn't be used for anything else, and this is the only reason I haven't upgraded to 3.2 on my home and office development machines, my play machines are already running 3.1.
