| It is basically this:
|
| 	fprintf(asm_file, "\tsave\t%sp, -%d, %sp\n", size_of_stack);
|
| So the first negative is hardcoded (because the stack decreases down
| always) and the second one is just the result of SSIZE_MAX plus some
| (registering saving, etc), which overflows to a negative value.

	Got it :)

| Then probably a 1024 byte buffer, and a loop to read/process it until
| it's all read. You'd have to make sure the connection was non-blocking
| though.

	I'm a bit reserved about using non-blocking sockets : I don't like
	them very much... I'll find a way to finish my program :)

	Again, thank you for all.

	I think we can close the bug... How should this be done ?
