FYI, I recently MFC'd some changes to libc_r (the pthreads library) which in theory should only make things better, but.. - Most applications don't use libc_r so if you use any that do please give them a try now.. - I'm curious if these changes fix the problems that the Apache group was having running the threaded version of Apache on FreebSD. Unfortunately my knowledge of these problems is vague and 2nd hand.. Is anyone closer to these problems who might be able to test it again?
