memory than me could explain it better.
Sean,
Yes, been there years ago - maybe 2006. I could never get the
full edifice working, so I extracted the parts that would enable
me to just load a single .o file, and that would work most of the
time, but then sometimes it would just crash.
Maybe that would work with today's runtime, but the machine that
particular code was on got stolen, so I'd have to start from
scratch.
