I have understood the "overflow" part to mean that "stack overflow" refers to a situation where the process of writing info to the stack continues past the memory reserved for the stack, writing to unspecified places in memory; if a safeguard stops it before then, it doesn't really overflow, does it? Seems to me it's an error message about a stack overflow- perfectly appropriate of course- but that it doesn't actually happen. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
