Subject: Updates on MOO v1.x.x?

I know Pavel must be busy because we have yet to see any updates (especially
that message about the update that would be posted in a week several 
months ago) but is there any updates on progress? 

Yeh, its my 'disk based database' request again... just so no one forgets!

I'm also a little worried about using Linux for the MOO. It seems to have
a 64MB filesize limit from what I read. I think Jay Carlson has some
experience with it. Is that going to be a problem?

The file size limit is dependent on the file system, I think---I think
I heard that there's basically no limit on file size in any of the
file systems aside from `minix' and `msdos'.

The last time I looked, Linux gcc miscompiled lookup_prep() or
somesuch function.  The result was that you couldn't add verbs with
preps other than "any" or "none".  I suspect this is the result of a
buggy stdargs implementation, and I bet it's been fixed by now.

Otherwise, we get to edit assembly code by hand.  :-(
