Yes. And usually it's quite easy fixed when using a 64bit build and as we're going to have 64bit Windows builds it shouldn't be a problem for anybody really needing that functionality. The last time it was discussed it was said we can't easily turn it on globally as it would interfere with "small" stat pointer received by Apache and others, nobody proposed a patch and I doubt anybody will... Correct me when wrong: It would have been critical some one or two years ago, nowadays 64bit systems are available and used enough. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
