I just looked at this new pthreads implementation and it is a bit thin. It won't compile on FreeBSD without hacking, it doesn't address the need for an MT-safe C library and it is infected with the GPL. A far better pthreads implementation can be found in sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads. This has MT-safe io, sockets, stdio and compiles out of the box on FreeBSD and many other architectures. The author (Chris Provenzano) is sometimes around on this list and sometimes threatens to merge it into FreeBSD's source tree. Any news on that, Chris? -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
