Sometimes things are stated, and refered to rules. There is for me a big difference if this is done by the mmc or if it is done on personal base... Maybe it is personal, but i find this sometimes very confusing.

In my personal view it was a bugfix, to prevent systems with a lot of node's from going down(say you have 100.000 news nodes, and you do an search on news-builder, you whole system could crash). The goal of this change was to keep the system running, where it would otherwise crash. Keep in mind that if this code change's the behaviour of MMBase(in general), than we should re-evaluate the number of nodes that are returned(and make it a higher value) Should i still do an hack proposal? -- Eduard Witteveen Systeem Ontwikkelaar Publieke Omroep, Gateway C Kamer 101 +31(0)356772910 http://www.omroep.nl/ Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? : The sixth Satire from Juvenal
