I can submit a patch which does something like: I guess that depends on what ACE does when it (pthread_attr_setscope) fails (in libc_r, and perhaps libthr if scope process is specified). > > It could be.

At what point will the signal support > be good enough to comply with POSIX Real-time signals? FreeBSD doesn't support them yet AFAIK. I don't think it would be that difficult to make libpthread comply when we do support them (basically, we just need to deliver RT signals in a certain order). -- Dan Eischen
