Gnuware's fondness for alloca and such makes the default maxstack of 512K seem uncomfortably small, and just another limit to stop otherwise perfectly working programs. (sigh) bash users will want to do a "ulimit -s 4096", or more. csh users, well, RTFM. -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access. "Turn on your hot tub by email now.
