This has *nothing* to do with libc vs. libc_r. This has *everything* to do with broken functions in the green threads code. If you are interested, I can show you exactly where the null-pointer references are and let you make your own fixes. Once again, there actually are broken functions in green threads, this is independently verifiable, essentially by merely inspecting the code. > *sigh* Trying to have a conversation with you is worthless, so I'll > quit trying. Fine. I have a list of green threads source files that contain null-pointer references. You are lucky that you have never encountered them. I hope that you never do encounter them, as they involve broken assumptions about how things work on *BSD systems. You may return to your perfect world now. Those of us dealing with real world problems will continue to work on them ourselves. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
