In fact, there has been discussions that the thread pointer on i386 needs to change. Whether that's the case or not, it's likely that TLS will complicate matters way too much to for it to ever work in 5.3. > >It'd be nice to get TLS and debugging in before 5.3-release. > > > > Yes.

There are still issues that haven't found a solution or even compromise and it too is only for i386. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
