And how can you > be sure thats still the case? You don't need access to AIX source. Reading the IBM Redbook on writing a device driver for AIX is sufficient proof. Or even reading up on how to get more heap space than the usual number of segment registers using the 'ld' command (yes, it's userspace visible). And Christoph isn't pulling your leg - it's pretty bizzare... --==_Exmh_-2136242002P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFANoA/cC3lWbTT17ARAoA/AKCdBGBaBLuAG17SxD65Wy8oLSRXwACg10eB j+L2bUYIGht679TIpX2GytM= =4KoB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-2136242002P-- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
