ehhh? Time to look before asserting -- the same might be said of similar vintage HP-UX 10.x -- with equal relevance to the present. ... the 2G kernel file limit has been gone for perhaps three years -- it left in the middle 2.2 kernel series. Vendors such as Red Hat then set to work cleaning up the toolchain (basically re-compiling with a set of 64 bit extensions enabled), and by RH 7.0 (almost two years ago now,) toolspace was largely clean. -- Russ Herrold
