I'm curious about your dod/external "fix". If I understood the purpose of BUFFER_external_FLAG correctly, it indicates that the memory pointed to by this header is external to our local memory pool, and thus should not be collected, etc. However, if I understand your patch correctly, it makes all external buffers immune to being collected. I agree with the resources.c patch to fix external, but I'm not sure about this one. Mike Lambert
