Hi Berny, Please don't feel like I'm hurrying with this. I'm strongly defending my patch to try to convince you that it's a Good Thing :-) But if it has to undergo a long discussion with POSIX, BSD, and whoever, that's fine by me.

I also CCd a few lists that might be interested. Please comment. Cheers, Alex > > I am.
