Ok, though "On the Intel x86 architecture a 2.6 kernel is also available", cf. releases notes. I would expect the limitation to be enforced by the choice of the kernel and not by the default kernel itself. As far as I understand, sysconf() should get the information at run time. How comes that he returns 32 on a system that support 65536? Regards, -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
