When I see a "trivial" patch that I think could possibly be undesirable I just ignore it rather than look into what the actual ramifications are since there are bigger more important problems to worry about. It's not until you actually commit that patch that I was happily going to forget about that I think more seriously about it. I bet it's the same with other people as well. This is hardly serious anyway, we could run with it this way for a while and see what actually happens in practice. Now, on to something else, can someone recommend a good book on Sparcs, all I have during the week is a Sun 5 so I might as well learn something about it. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
