      From: niktechc@niktech.com              Hi Ori,              A typical garbage collector would "scan" the stack of all       active processes looking for values that "might be" pointers.       If it finds something that looks like a pointer, it will mark       the "memory" as referenced. This will lead some false positives       ofcourse.              Hope that helps.              Sandeep              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
