Got my unlimited FIFO hack working after a few hours or so of coding. It's fun to play with. Soon, I'll see how much it reduces my memory consumption (although I must make sure there is enough disk space available). If you're curious about the details, ask me. It's a bit of a kluge, but it works.

Addendum

My DSL provider (Concentric) has merged with Nextlink and become XO Communications. What a bloody stupid name...
