HEH! Definitely. I have built & run at least four versions since January 11, two with DEBUG_FLAGS='-g' for both userland and kernel and two without. As Jason said, we should probably keep looking for potential problems both in the new malloc() and the programs that use it, but the fact that my laptop still runs quite fine with several dozens of ports installed some time back in December seems to imply there aren't any _really_ _nasty_ bugs in malloc so far Jason, thanks for the work you've put into this :)Received on Fri Jan 13 2006 - 18:54:59 UTC
