I began to fear about the health of my consumer disk. Hours of extreme disk rattling due to the fight of stat() and swap (1 GB RAM, 2 GB swap partition). I was not curious enough to wait for the outcome. The usual archivers produce 500 MB of uncompressed result from that subtree within half an hour (slow enough) and with not more than the usual memory footprint of a few single MB. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
