So how do we report this to be corrected ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I didn't find a ref to the author) BTW - Neil, thanks for clarifying about "SWAP_SPACE" vs. "SWAPSPACE2" in earlier message :-) BTW2 -- after all that confusion I stopped believing anything and tested my system by creating a monstreous object of 500MB on a machine with 256MB RAM and 512 MB swap by using a few python commands to create lists of lists of lists (1KB -> 1MB -> 500MB); deepcopy in python is slow enough that you can watch the process in a second console using 'top'... quiet entertaining :) , and assuring me that all my swap is implemented as 'new' type. - Horst _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
