dbuf.c probably does not need to be increased; more buffers will be allocated as needed. Ideally, the size of each dbuf structure should be the size of a page minus malloc() overhead, but I'm not certain that that's an optimization we need to be too concerned about. > I'm appending a patch for centralizing the sendbuffer-related > settings. Our basic rules for posting of patches is that patches are posted to patches@ only, and that discussion is held on coder-com@. Also, I would like to request that when you post the patches, you post them in plain text, rather than BASE64-encoded; this not only allows those of us using plain text mail browsers to view the message in-line, it also allows us to quote specific sections of your patch if we wish to make comments. Your patch looks good; I can't foresee any problems, and it certainly makes the source more maintainable. Note, however, that in our development tree, we've managed to eliminate sendbuf and the related constant that you have named SENDBUFSIZE. There are several places where the magic numbers "510" and "512" are used, however, and we'll look at correcting those. Thank you! -- Kevin L. Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
