Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 13:09:35 -0400 It wouldn't take much to throw out any il data that appears after > 256k of il bytes are in the process end queue (or pick your favorite limit). You'll still have to process the packets or the protocol will break but nothing forces you to keep the processed data lying around. As long as you use the protocol for reply/request, nothing is changed. If you try to use it as a streaming pipe, it'll lose info but won't eat up all of memory.
