There really is a show-stopper, which I have stated before. Languages such as OCaml use -ENOMEM as a hint to run the garbage collector some more. I expect Haskell is the same. It is not appropriate for libxl (or any library for that matter) to use exit() as its method of resolving out-of-memory conditions. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
