The XO /tmp is **exactly** like a SunOS /tmp. It's in RAM. Well, one difference: it was common to have only 8 MB. There is nothing new here. The XO is not special. Understand that each and every #ifdef is a despised wart that makes code less maintainable. I know it isn't YOUR code. Please be considerate of other people's code. BTW, it's not as if running out of RAM will fail to alert the author. There is no problem here. One can just as well have trouble with malloc or severe recursion. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
