'nil' is the designation for an ascii 0, not a pointer. Please use 'null' or 'NULL' -- for example, look at the gettimeofday man page. 'nil' has nothing to do with pointers. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
