It's not written in C, you don't have to mess around with 5-6 fd's to get the needed data.
And I think that this is both a design bug and a red herring. By the way, should I make a bug report with a patch to remove this issue? Making it selectable via FEATURES requires more digging around in portage. -- Andrey Vul A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
