Maybe what's needed is a way to allow certain RTS options to trickle through? For example, I'd like to be able to change +RTS -Nx to just '-c x', or similar. Anyway, you can also use OS limits on processes (ulimit -a in bash) that can run away with all your memory. And if it actually freezes your machine (as opposed to making it go really slowly), that's a kernel bug. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
