Thanks for the patch. As we discussed in IRC[*], we should probably do the correct thing and check for ERANGE and loop as necessary (even if sysconf returns a positive value). Example code here: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_328.txt -Carl [*] #notmuch on irc.freenode.net for those who didn't just guess that already, (and I'll add that to the website soon).
