I wrote that email on Friday on my notebook and it couldn't connect. It managed to do so this evening. I spent the weekend experimenting with the idea, and while I came up with something that worked, it wasn't really usable. The memory footprint was much too large to be worthwhile. For some fragmentation patterns, it would work. The worst case scenario was totally intolerable. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtI4xLPWxlyuTD7IRAh0uAJ4xqU2JFRUqgyQYDDQBr0oGBJBCXgCcCXD7 et36eQ8yUt3CD7e6+thPZvU= =iFAe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
