Actually, I'm the one who said a Solaris [pthread] thread is not
equivalent to a lightweight process. In Solaris, there are:
o Application [user] threads which run over one or more
lightweight processes.
o Lightweight processes which run on kernel threads
o Kernel threads as the basic scheduling entity - these
do not have to be mapped to an LWP
