I've been away for a couple of days. Seems this didn't even register a bite.

This (auth exception) has been a cause of some angst for years amongst (some of) us poor "plods" that have to keep working user systems perambulating along.. Even were it true, we might still have a bitch - but there are any number of ISVs out there all demanding Auth libraries, and all trying to use all nefarious means to bypass any and all sane controls by the *USERS* that purchase their software, and continue to pay the IT equivalent of usury. "system spaces" in this context may have meaning to you Peter, but in the real world it means bloody near anything that runs. > And all that you would do is break the system by > trying to impose a limit where none should be imposed. And why is their no tracking of said usage ???. Remember SMF ??? - some of us find it quite useful in our day-to-day lives. This is an unforgivable omission.
