I tested the wrong DLL. Actually current CVS fixes this problem. Duh. Sorry for the confusion. One question, though. Assuming start is == size, then the current code in CVS extends the fd table by only 1. If that happens often, the current code would have to call ccalloc/memcpy/cfree a lot. Wouldn't it in fact be better to extend always by at least NOFILE_INCR, and to extend by (1 + start - size) only if start is > size + NOFILE_INCR? Something like size_t extendby = (start >= size + NOFILE_INCR) ? 1 + start - size : NOFILE_INCR; ? Sorry again. Fortunately it's my WJM week...
