I realize you don't necessarily want that one, but we could have a switch that still tells the server to measure the size, but not actually print the output? While it costs a bit of overhead to do that, that's certainly something that's a lot more safe than ignoring errors. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
