The _kernel_ thread work is limping along. It hasn't quite come to a halt. 8-) The code in libc_r passes all my local tests that include some rather big applications with performance comparisons of the same code running under OSF/1, including some X based. There have been changes recently to allow for kernel threading as an alternative, but these are insignificant. The elf, posix (realtime), alpha and sparc things won't destabilise the system, IMO. It looks like the microtime changes have been pretty much digested too. As always, -current in a production environment is a risk, but the system looks stable at present. YMMV. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
