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.
