That's correct. > Unless the programmer takes special action to force only one copy. That can only be done within a single program that's multithreaded (unless by "special action" you mean things like System V shared memory segments or something similar that's rather more than just normal static or global variables). -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
