Well, from my expirience pages are hardly understandable by people. So bytes are always better and more convinient for non-programmers. Rounding is not that big issue, since people still get the result they expect (unlike to the case when they mess up with the page size). Thanks, Kirill P.S. 1 byte limit is not that common :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
