I can vouch for that. The Solaris memory debugging tools have to be told to ignore SEGV when using the Boehm GC, which apparently use this mechanism, and recovers from it every time... (otherwise it signals on pretty well the first mallocation - busting the tools). Tim -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
