 }    Sorry, no sample code. I have hacked up the application to the
 }    point that it is no longer recognizeable.
 
 This duplicated kern/11984. This simple code is in there.

 }    pthread_kill probably needs to know how to kill processes that
 }    are waiting for file locks.
 
 The problem is that libc_r does not provide a flag to tell thread
 kernel if any thread is being killing, so that if the killed thread
 is in dead loop status or some locked status, then program will hang
 or wait forever.
