While I agree with this, I'm trying to figure out why this isn't being incorporated into glibc instead..? Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see a discussion of that in the article. I'd certainly rather rely on glibc if we can, though I know that we've ended up implementing our own routines at times too. On the other hand, if there's a reason the glibc folks don't want this, we should consider that.. Thanks! Stephen
