Right, this is a peculiarity of Solaris. AIX and Linux have a much higher threshold (if they have one). Cygwin also has this limitation. > Please remove this test. Hmm, I'm reluctant. Instead I will redefine the test goal: find out the maximum line length for the given architecture. I'm already thinking about setting the pty to raw to avoid such system dependencies. "Portable Ptys" is an oxymoron... > BTW: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." is similar to > a sentence that contains every character at least once. Right. This sentence was designed to find all those nitpickers out there, and you're the first! ;-) Thanks! Roland -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
