Any change can only cause problems. This makes no sense. What possible problems can arise from a correct fix? This interface is purely about performance. A correct fix will only have the effect of changing the performance characteristics of some programs. Leaving this interface in the current broken state means that some programs will not obtain the performance improvement they expect from using the interface. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
