That's a good question! :-) Every USENIX I talk to the thread god (Chris Provenzano) about it, who either says that something is imminent on this front or that we need to decide whether or not we're going to go for a fully thread-safe libc. The libc changes entail either a compile-time switch to enable it or leaving it *always* on so that main() is just your first autocreated thread. Either way, once we decide how we want it to go them we need to get Chris or someone to finally bring the changes in. How important are ptreads to folks? David, do you remember the conclusions we reached when we last talked to Chris in N.O.? Did we reach any conclusions? :-) Jordan
