Looking forward to it! But.. Sorry to say, but it looks like I spoke to soon regarding the memory usage patch for plzip 1.6. Continuing with some custom scripts related to slackware package conversion (nothing official, just personal stuff), plzip 1.6 with the latest patch (I think of it as the '3GB patch') was throwing errors on my i7 about running out of memory. Oddly enough running identical tests on an identical data set would sometimes succeed, sometimes fail, or sometimes say it succeeded but silently fail. Very weird. Reverting to unpatched plzip 1.6 & restoring the thread limiting loop in my scripts gave me predictable/desirable results. Essentially, I *think* the patch originally worked by accident on my somewhat odd hardware/software combination. Only by having a larger (very time consuming) data set did I spot this.
