My earlier comment was meant to be a weak vote for the limits. "weak" in the sense that I would like to keep them, but that I do not feel very strongly about it. Consider it more like half-a-vote for them. Even with that, I wouldn't mind if limits were only available as a malloc option (set via /etc/malloc.conf) and not done by default. Perhaps just file these comments under "nice ideas to do someday", and just ignore them for now... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
