Yeah, but I believe not on i386. This is really a very 32-bit, x86-specific problem. (Even other 32-bit architectures tend not to be as register-starved and therefore don't make this trade-off.) Hopefully this problem will eventually go away when 32-bit x86 goes away, although there are so many 32-bit x86 systems out there that it may take a while. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
