hi

I am having a multi-threaded application. the child thread has to wait on a 
semaphore but when it does so the parent thread stops responding and taking 
inputs from the keyboard.
I tried changing the scheduling policy and priority of the child thread but 
in vain.
child thread is created with default attributes.
Can anybody figure out some solution for this?

urgent help required

thanx
Chaudhary Anurag
