The > test actually tries to create 101 threads, 1 main + 100 new. so the main process counts as 1 thread and for each pthread_create invokation the thread number gets bumped up? so with a process doing a single pthread_create() that would imply this process is having a thread count of 2? cheers. alex -- a13x
