The last time I looked at the pool code it was bogus because clean_child_exit assumed every pool was descended from the process root and several new parentless pools had been added to the code -- I never got around to fixing that, but this change would make it worse. I think it would be better to remove the global pool free list so that the application could init multiple root pools (each with their own root free list, or with no free list if we can show that to be more efficient). OTOH, it seems the new sms code just needs a whack upside the head to stop it from asking for extra memory from its parent. ....Roy
