See size2bucket: there's a separate list for each power of 2 (some lists might be empty if there are no blocks of that size; in fact, most of them are empty most of the time). > I hate reading OPs source :-) at least without a clear statement of > algorithms. The ability to read the source and understand the algorithms is a necessary part of your programming skills, so you should practice it as often as you can ;-) > BTW, your messages are suddenly supporting references and getting > threaded properly! Did you change newsreaders? See the `X-Mailer' header. I work on several wildly different machines, depending on where I am at any given time, and use whatever software can be feasibly installed on each system. I also read the news group via DJ's email gateway (can't afford all that spam, and can't rely on broken news feeds that drop messages). So it's a mailing list for me, not a news group, and the `References' headers are not mandatory in maling lists. Doesn't your news reader have an option to auto-thread by Subject? If not, maybe toss it and use another one ;-)
