I think this is very marginal use really... If we really wanted to support this convention, we should not add (almost-duplicate) entries in the table, but rather on missing an entry in the table, try again after xor'ing with the "hide-bit" and see if we then get a hit. But as I said, this is rather marginal and I really don't feel it should go in unless this xor-0x10 convention is more widespread. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
