In my recent browsings through the -stable and -current trees, I have found (to my immense dismay) that libc is not really thread safe at all. It appears at first glance that stdio & malloc are pretty much covered, but string & net appear to be untouched. I'm willing to do the work here (or assist if somebody's already at it). So if there is a somebody, speak up. :) Also, I run a -stable system, and I can't see my self using -current until I get another box - what are the chances of any patches to -stable libc sliding in a smooth and orderly way into -current? I'll upgrade if I must (threads are somewhat necessary for my current project), but I'd much rather stick with -stable for now. --- Ian
