The examples are not correct (and some don't even compile). I have to go through it and write a review about the problems. There were 6 different printings with erratas...I don't know whether they caught all the errors... Anyway, if you read this, look at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pthread/errata/ I think it was so bad I couldn't believe O'relly published it. They redid the examples 4/99, maybe they finally got it right. > * Marc Wandschneider [001013 15:56] wrote: > > > > blaugh! > > > > can somebody recommend some sources for learning about thread > > programming under FreeBSD.
