That's a fine late-night hack. Only this week I met some ARM Corp people who very very pleased with your efforts but wondering when they might get a browser (better than dillo) to demo to people. I did point out that the code was there and they could fix it themselves, rather than just waiting for someone else to get round to it :-) They will now be even more impressed. > Looks sane? > > It's of course a stupid idea to depend on a particular layout of the > jmp_buf structure in application programs, but oh well.
