This is true. I think one way to fix this is to preallocate the 'struct file' you're going to put into the array and have fdalloc() insert the created file instead of just finding a slot. Problem is that it's a bunch of grunt work to do this. -- -Alfred Perlstein [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
