(-pthread) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, The pthreads in RELENG_4 are quite broken (I mean, very-very broken). Daniel M. Eischen has produced some patches which are in -current for some time now, and were tested by me in -stable. They were found to work great for all things I've tested it on. It works *better* than the original implementation _anyway_, which is, like I said is broken. So, perhaps it wasn't in -current for a long time, but leaving the current implementation is like shipping broken pthreads apriori. --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
