If I understand correctly: If the memory is allocated using malloc() ie. brk() it can't be returned to the system. It will only be placed into a free list. If it is allocated using mmap then it can. Don't know if that actually helps much though. James --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
