Just for S&G, and without checking the version numbers of anything, this may not be all that bulletproof a test: gene@coyote:~$ echo '[1, 2, 3]' | json_xs -t null 2>/dev/null; echo $? 127 gene@coyote:~$ echo '[1; 2, 3]' | json_xs -t null 2>/dev/null; echo $? 127 Old, buntu 10.04.4 LTS system, all up to date security patches wise. kernal 3.13.9, PAE on a quad core phenom. Interesting result. Source of error? DamnedifIknow. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
