Lines 187 and 257:   
  msg.msg_control = (char *)&hdr;

I hope I did that right. =)

Well, the makefile in
D/konqueror-embedded-snapshot-20020219/konq-embed/kdesrc/khtml/misc
doesn't seem to have a '-02' switch anywhere in it. The thing is, I
don't get why the 'map["black"]...' lines (43-60) eat up so much memory
-- if I comment out just the color maps, the file compiles in
just under 85 MB of memory (according to top). In fact, if I leave even
one of these lines in, it won't compile ("virtual memory exhausted").

Another problem is that konq crashes as soon as I try to get it to load a page (the menus and preferences dialogue work):

  Launcher::dispatchLoop()...
  Xlib:  extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".
  debug: KHTMLPart::init this=0x569000 d=0x56e800
  QAction::setAccel()  (saveDocument) requires widget in parent chain.
  debug: dcopclient::send
  debug: creating slave for http://www.kde.org/
  error sending launcherCreateSlaveCmd: Invalid argument
  debug: launcher: received unknown command 247
  Memory fault 

Oh well. I still have Dillo and can run Opera remotely, at least. =(
