I have heard _no_ complaints about pdump since the bug where some dumped variables were overriding command-line switches got worked around sometime around 21.4.5, with the single exception of the annoying .dmp files. As long as those are now gone on all platforms (I think OG fixed that last summer?) I'm in favor of getting rid of unexec. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
