There is a problem, nevertheless: efficiency. If you do a "signal" and two "alarm" per "write", your CPU usage will goes up. We should take some experiments here to measure real impact. With a 512 "chunk" write buffer, for example, a megabyte email will have, at least, 2048 "write" calls. -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ PGP Key Available at KeyServ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz
