Drop-in replacements are evil. If you want to do this, you should just create a new function that does what you need to do and name it differently. If you're dead-set on doing a name-based replacement, then you should have your extension modify the symbol table directly, but again, this is evil. George
George, Can you please substantiate your statement that drop-in replacements are evil? I could only see them being a problem if they don't fully implement the existing API. Andrew -- Andrew Yochum Plexpod andrew@plexpod.com
