- There are some "issues" ;-) with malloc/free and items created by/with
- xdr et al. As part of the port of SPEC SFS 1.0 (LADDIS) to HP-UX, I
- replaced the calls to free() with _rpc_free() for those places where I
- knew the memory was allocated by xdr...
-
- just what one engineer happened to do, not necessarily what will be
- done in the future, nor what HP may have wanted me to do...
