I understand (perhaps incorrectly) that Xavier rewrote the code for this module, and assume the underlying functionality is re-entrant? For compatibility the old broken interface is still available, which is fine, but a re-entrant interface should be provided. IMHO. It's disgusting, having a library like this in a functional programming language. Even Python gets this right. -- John Skaller Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net
