I haven't had time to test it on NetBSD yet, but since it can be fixed by switching up which threading engine you link against on the Free* side of *BSD, its likely a long-term fix in Ports instead of polluting the code with #IFDEF's for FreeBSD-specific POSIX thread nits (it's a hard-sell since the same code works fine on Solaris and Linux w/o issue) What we need is: 1) Nightly builds of Nagios against various releng trees 2) Serious BSD involvement in the project to look at the threading code (beyond me) 3) Bug tracking on the Nagios side I recently proposed #1 and #2 on nagios-user@, but I got a lot of push-back from Andreas. Any type of professional project management improvements that quote "Aren't fun" are heavily frowned upon. ~BAS
