>I always interpreted the "10K global variables" to mean 10K directly accessible, heap-allocated symbols. It's a code reek. Which to me on an old _accelerator_ design is suspect because that's alot of heap for the micros that would have been used back in the day. This isn't a Linux system. It was at best a micro with like 8KB of RAM. (I'm not actually sure what it is but there's no way it was impressive).
