Yeah, the patch handles OS X and Linux, and is written so somebody could add Solaris support. I think Detlef was suggesting a particular way of doing that. I have a wrapper function that is implemented by each OS differently using #ifdef's. He was suggesting that instead (I think) that I use one OS's API as the wrapper function. I don't think it's a good fit in this case (though I like it in other situations). - Dan
