No. this happens too in the non 9-libs version. I changed a #defined constant somewhere which increased the number of processes. Sorry I can't remember where though. The real problem is probably not setting the constant big enough, but the error handling surrounding it. In any case, a data structure which allows the nuber of processes to grow infinately may be better than the array currently used. ian
