(The News gurus love it to have mmap() available in INN, and this bug is a show- stopper for them.) It's less scaring to admit that we have a problem in this area, than to release an mmap() test utility that does not test something that is a known bug. The latter will certainly be considered `biased' by the advocates of those operating systems that don't suffer from this problem. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
