Well, even if 1 line is printed instead of the full stacktrace, if left long enough the harddisk will still fill up. Probably a bit slowly, but eventually the disk will be filled up. The problem is the user would only notice this when there is a severe lack of space. Something is better than nothing, so I checked in (svn trunk r4397) support for the above, namely if a large message is repeated then only the first line is printed and marked "(Repeated)". - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
