Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't know I've written soooo much code :-P

This is on linux fc6 (x86_64).

If it's gcc, then you can blame the generated debug info for this bloat. I see no way to fix that except to not to generate the debug info (which considerably reduces file sizes - just try to strip the files to see for yourself). HTH Regards Hartmut
