Re: linux queue size?

Hi Daryl,

Very helpful, thank you!  I'm forwarding this response to Art Person at
Penn State who wants to build a large queue.

Very odd about glibc.  Art is running RH 7.3 so I'm guessing he has the
latest glibc, although I don't know if he's kept up with all the
patches.  That could be show stopper...

Art, please let me know where you would like to go from here.  I'm
available for any further questions.

Anne
