v2.6FM update:
01-10-97
* Replaced the realloc() in split_line() of GridText.c with a calloc(),
memcpy(), FREE() sequence for all systems, not just AIX and ultrix,
based on analysis of memory wastage by Hans Reiser
(address@hidden). - FM
* Tweaks of the body= handling in mailto URLs. - FM
* Tweaks of the ftp gateway. - FM
* Restored inheritence when resolving versus a base with the same scheme,
because the RFC1808 and Fielding Draft behavior of not doing so yields
too many failures in the real world (sigh...). - FM
That fix makes a *substantial* difference. Good find, Hans!!!!
All these years Lynx has been tying up a KByte of memory per line of
cached document, even for lines with nothing in them (vertical spacers).
The high multi-user Lynx sites should incorporate that fix ASAP.
