1) Is it correct to assume that since the FreeBSD uthreads library uses the SIGVTALRM that programs using those threads should not use SIGVTALRM? 2) I understand how KSEs circumvent the normal problem with user level threads packages of having the whole process block when a system call is made. However, I don't understand how, if scheduling is done at the user level, threads can run on multiple processors simultaneously. Is it in fact able to do this? Thanks. -Kip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
