So it's in no way a regression. sigh I just checked and you are correct it does still create them, so I'll happily recant on the word regression. It however seems pointless to include them in creation. Currently the 2 unused lines are taking up about ~1.1M in the tree, when we have several additional hashes I can only imagine that it would use significantly more space than currently. -- solar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
