Hello tech@,
On monday I was playing with the build environment of PHP and all of a
sudden I couldn't finish the command because the command buffer was
full, so I was forced to use bash to finish what I set out to do. Of
course I'd rather stay on ksh, so here's a patch (guided by anton@)
which increases the buffer sizes of ksh.
I've been running this full time @$DAYJOB for two days with the S
malloc option enabled and just did a full system reboot with the
whole malloc.conf shebang without any issues.
OK?
