Cliff, I will really love to see the implementation of the apr_bucket_alloc_create_ex() taking an actual allocator as a parameter and setting the max_free limit on it before releasing 1.0. This should put an end to the bucket_max_free() saga... Let me know if I could help. Thank you, JJ >>> Cliff Woolley 6/24/2003 11:29:14 PM >>> What are the real issues stopping us from releasing APR 1.0? (Yes, I've read the STATUS file.) We've been "pushing toward" 1.0 for almost a year now... --Cliff
