Re: [Tuxnes-devel] Re: [tuxnes-dev] Steve's memory patch

[<spi...@my...>]

What's broken in BSD?
I realize that using more virtual ram then you need to isn't a big problem, but it's still better to allocate it only if you need to..
For some reason we are allocating about 20 megs worth, and only really using 3... It just seems to be quite sloppy to me :-)
What I did for my patches was just grep through the source for FIXME's, then fix them(I think ;-).. Let me know is you found anything nasty from those patches..
The memory handling should be fine, don't see any problems there... I wonder if the defines react wierd on BSD?
