I've looked at this a just a wee bit. It should be pretty easy to check if sysconf( _SC_LINE_MAX ) returns -1 without error. But I'm not quite sure what the desired behavior is exactly. I'm a bit of a rookie; I'm not quite clear on what should be done in terms of allocating memory in this case. -- dean hudson, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> research fellow, esoteric research organization
