not really. you might be able to get glibc to accept these, but you'll most likely need to rewrite them considerably. plus, other C library implementations also support mallopt, not just glibc. while it isnt part of POSIX, i do believe it is part of older standards. glibc seems to quote SVID/XPG/ANSI. -mike
