Now that we make job table entries for internal shell control structures, we need more table space. It still shouldn't need to grow without bound (though I believe we have other anti-infinite recursion mechanisms in place now)." I reported that I would double the value of MAXJOBS in my builds, which helped me. Though it might be nice to have a more dynamic solution. -FR ps: archive of Bart's message http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2002/msg01108.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
