My understanding of the way things are:
NetBSD "thread environment" = CAP's pthreads code including CAP's thread safe
libc.
FreeBSD "thread environment" = CAP's pthreads code including CAP's thread safe
libc.
In either case, the threaded {Free,Net}BSD program's operating system
compatibility is the same as if the program is not threaded. So this *thread*
(of discussion) should leave out any reference to threads in either FreeBSD or
NetBSD.
