in thread odd line in windows

I can't help much with those questions

But do the questions make sense to you? That is, do you see the same anomalies?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

    Certainly - and I've often wondered, in passing, precisely what is going on there.
    But I haven't ever gone to the extent of really trying to get to grips with it. (Gee, if I took the time to ponder everything I don't understand I'd lead a very troubled existence, indeed ;-)

    Anyway, I'm glad you asked about it ... and even gladder that ikegami came up with some answers.

    I'll look at modifying the "Discussion" of this code in the Cookbook, to explain some of what ikegami uncovered.
    There's actually a bug in that "Discussion", anyway. It still mentions using strdup, which was replaced long ago by savepv.

    Cheers,
    Rob
