Yes, that's right. > Seems rather serious. I am doubtful that is how they have > implemented it. If it's a multithreaded application, then there is nothing to doubt about the matter.

If a thread has been corrupted to the point of crashing, then the entire process has been corrupted. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="cbbrowne.com" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/linuxxian.html A VAX is virtually a computer, but not quite. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
