I had thought that to, but today I started a updateddb and got a scrolling mass of "<filename>: out of memory" (or somesuch). I finally ended up exiting netscape and running kill real fast, before the dcache sucked that memory back up. (I have recently descovered that cat, ps and kill are all dynamicly linked on my machice. I'll have to fix that eventually, but not now.)
