Ah, quite right, blech. I had forgotten about OPEN_MAX, which does make it possible to detect a delayed allocation. (Obviously that could also [and maybe should] be dealt with by remembering how many file descriptors we have promised but not allocated. But you're quite right that *that* much hair would be a mistake to deal with now.) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
