It won't work on more than hppa, but it might fail in more interesting or different ways. Anyway, if you use a tmpfile, you'll be fine. (This has come up often in the kernel and other places, unfortunately.) Of course, we could just P-a-S it, because there's really likely no way your package will ever be used on hppa. :) r, Kyle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
