Until now, the threads implementation used by MySQL on FreeBSD has been a modified version of MIT pthreads maintained by the MySQL author. In the interest of having this package work with the FreeBSD native threads implementation, I made available a system for Monty to do a port on (3.0-970618-SNAP). Unfortunately he ran across a couple problems which would benefit from comment by someone experienced with the FreeBSD native threads implementation. That person is not myself. If anyone has time to answer some questions via e-mail, in the interest of expediting this development work, please drop me a line. --Paul
