... That I didn't know (only the compiler was mentioned above). So you've got your own mystery. What are you going to do about it <wink>?
The good news: This isn't a mystery after all. Between 2.1 and 2.2, I changed list.append() to do mildly exponential overallocation instead of fixed-increment overallocation. "In theory" that makes the worst cases amortized linear time instead of quadratic time. Looks like FreeBSD's realloc is more sensitive to this change than most. the-bad-news-is-i-barely-remember-changing-it-ly y'rs - tim
