Subject: Re: exerb problem

Hi Nobu,

Thank you, that helped.

However, after extending the script somewhat I now get
"Segmentation faults" at various locations in the script.

Another question (excuse me I'm a newbie):

Why does it take longer time to read large files (in blocks
of 2**18 bytes) when in binary mode (opened with "rb") as 
compared to normal mode (opened with "r")?

It takes about 5-10 times longer in binary mode. Is this
a known problem and is there a workaround? This is really
unrelated to exerb since it happens also when running the
script directly.

Thanks for taking your time,

Karsten
