I have some thoughts about what it takes to separate the uthread code from libc, which facitlitates point 1 above, and which also makes it easier to make libc thread safe for alternative pthreads implementations (eg. linuxthreads). Also, I have some thoughts about how to make libc (and/or libc_r) more thread safe. I'd be happy to jot these down over the next few days and send them out, if anyone is interested. But maybe someone has already done this or is in the process of doing it. If so, let me know and I won't duplicate the work. And, if you're not interested, don't say anything. I'll take no responses to this offer as "no interest". :) -- Richard Seaman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
