Maybe you could get in touch with IBM ?

I had to dig into AIX's header files to find about it, and to be honest I don't really want to dig further into this as my itch is now scratched. > Oh, "used" was a typo. I meant "idle", of course.

Power to the user ;) I'll be out of office until sept 20 (being at IBM's, learning about AIX clusters) so I won't have access to my test machines for a moment. If you are willing to make the changes I will test them and provide feedback wrt compilation etc as soon as I return. Otherwise I will code them myself and post them after some testing.
