Personally, I'd like to see better handling like this- but done in a way which minimizes impact to code and translators. A function like namecpy() (which I agree with Kevin about- curious that it's not used..) which handled the check, errmsg and exit seems reasonable to me, for the "userland" binaries (and perhaps the postmaster when doing command-line checking of, eg, -D) that need it. Still, I'm not offering to go do it, so take my feelings on it with that in mind. :) Thanks, Stephen
