Setting it to 0 didn't seem to work. I then encountered a small bug in nsthread/nsthreadtest.c w/respect to this - if tcl has been built without the fast memory allocator, you'll get a link error because it references Tcl_GetMemoryInfo, which isn't defined without USE_THREAD_ALLOC (a hack to nsthread.c to avoid the call will allow your build to complete)  (not sure if this is an issue for pre-3.5) -Elizabeth Elizabeth Thomas Principal Software Engineer America OnLine, Inc.
