Yow! That's frightening. In the code you're running, does it test
anywhere for "if {[ns_info version] >= 4.0} { ... }" or something and
behave differently on 4.0.x than it did on 3.x?
You're running the same code on the same machine with the same config
and the only variable you changed is the AOLserver version? Same
version of Tcl?

This adds a neat twist. Thanks for the info.

OK, I'd like to know if running your htdig over and over for, say, an
hour straight, if the nsd ever reaches a stable memory size for
either AOLserver version.
