Could it be that the notifier uses the select() system call? Depending upon scope of course, without the (), "select" could then be a ptr-to-fn-ret-int and not your global variable. Try using a "static" instead. But it shouldn't trash the server connections, just your appplication. > While I'm here, has anyone got any tips on making OW run faster.

It seems that 16 MB is the minimum needed for decent performance on our SS1's. Frank G.
