I've tested this and found no aparant problem on Linux, and phpa is running on many solaris platforms with no problems. This is afterall not an uncommon code pattern :-) It may be something specific to the build, and the more recent solaris contributions had different compiler flags than the first solaris builds. If there is a bug then this will hopefully be incorporated into 1.2p4 nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.php-accelerator.co.uk Home of the free PHP Accelerator To post, send email to phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, email phpa-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject unsubscribe
