Typical situation with anything; -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1139620 May 10 13:26 /usr/lib/libc.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 540112 May 10 13:26 /usr/lib/libc.so.4 > I suggest that you look up the relevant discussions with John Dyson in > the mail archives and adjust the zsh accordingly.

(Note also that two identical shared binaries will also occupy the same vm space...) -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
