It seems to work either way. How often does one have to './configure'? Rebuilding from virgin source, I ended up with a different size for zsh, that's a bit scary, is it ok, or did I manage to farkle something? The new sized build has been running without obvious trouble for several days.

I'm still using my ancient Borland C manuals. I managed to create a bit of a disaster with my 'printf()s' used for tracing, several system files were trashed, which isn't exactly surprising, since so many files can be open. Would "fprintf(stderr, ..." be any safer? What's the standard way of doing that sort of thing? I still think like a DOS man. utils.c:(.text+0x344e): warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' or `mkdtemp' Anything to learn from the warning? Can it be got rid of?
