I read the current email this morning after sending the message (bad move!). I'll test it as soon as I get home, after fetching the latest cvs-cur update. My mistake. I'll also be giving this COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS stuff a whirl. Looks rather like the AIX 4.2.x thread model (each thread is a kernel thread, no mux'ing over userland threads) that I'm currently coping(!) with. Roll on AIX 4.3.
