Hmmm, do not be so sure. Think for a moment. How is the array indexed? It is almost assuredly a long int, so the max you will ever get is from this strategy is 4Gb if the long int is unsigned. There might be other limiting factors, but your strategy will NEVER be able to index 10 Gb of characters; now if you stuff long ints into an array you would potentially fill 16Gb .... - rick -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
