Hi. I thought this was a great node, and have recommended its reading and repeated its contents in a number of situations.<p>
One of them was in correspondence with [Dominus] where he suggested quite strongly that some of what it said is incorrect (specifically the last paragraph). As my C skills arent sufficient to determine the facts on my own im a little curious as to where things stand right now.<p>
Is the information in this node correct? If not, is this due to an implementation change?<p>
I would really like to know the current status of the validity of the information in this node.<p>
I'm somewhat doubtful as to how long this node would have lasted if it was totally incorrect without someone saying so, but on the other hand [Dominus] has a reputation for knowing his stuff so im in a bit of a quandry as to what to think.<p>
Please advise!
<P>
