I'm not impressed --- the list of unsolved problems is a bit too long. One that seems a showstopper for our purposes is lack of ability to deal reliably with stack overflow on alternate stacks. If we're going to be doing anything as loosely defined as running a third-party language interpreter in these stacks, that just won't do. Another little problem is it's LGPL. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
