Just for the hell of it, I tested this under linux 2.1.x - no problems. Not, according to the source in front of me, the size is actually 2^32-1 (or 2^64-1 on 64-bit platforms), not negative because the length parameter is of type size_t which is an unsigned integer. It does not return EINVAL (as, I believe, somebody else reported). -cw
