While developing and for "sensitive" programs S is best. ssh and sshd use it. If S is too slow, any subset of CFJ might provide a middle ground. Not using any flags is also pretty safe already compared to other malloc implementations. -Otto Thanks for the quick reply. I'll stick with "s" for now and if its unbearably slow I'll try others. Thanks Edgar
