It would be handy to be able to say: all e* functions die, but do* and new* do not. But tommy's list shows that emake is an exception to the rule. I'm not aware of any other exceptions, but I can't be sure unless I go digging through the source. Which really should not be necessary, in my opinion. -- Ben de Groot Gentoo Linux developer (lxde, media, qt, desktop-misc) Gentoo Linux Release Engineering PR liaison ______________________________________________________ yngwin@gentoo.org http://ben.liveforge.org/ irc://chat.freenode.net/#gentoo-media irc://irc.oftc.net/#lxde ______________________________________________________
