It seems ther's a problem here:)

the manpage of open states ".... disables thread rescheduling...".
Is this the explanation?

As far as I can tell, Posix requires that some function should not
block the process, and lists open(), fcntl(), ...


Are there any pthread gurus who could give us the real truth here?

cheers,
mouss
