I agree in principle -- much better the bugs we know than the ones we don't. But, IIUC, the patch we'd be reverting is from March, 2006, which means that there's potentially a lot more that depends on it. In that sense, I don't even feel confident that reverting the change is a conservative move, likely to lead to less optimal code, but not wrong code. Are you? (That's a serious question; not a rhetorical one.) Thanks, -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
