I have committed some changes to libthr today. All but one of them were bug fixes, so I encourage everyone to update their source.

No, you're right. The ports must have been statically linked. I'll investigate. As for the lockups, libthr by itself should not be able to lockup your machine. I'll investigate when I get back access to the SMP machine. > I'll try to get a dump of the exact error messages when I have access to > the box again in a few days. Please.
