Hmm. I thought our 1.1.8 port was rather complete. Could someone else
comment on this one?

Click on "Install a JIT" :-)

Ah, but I think these have been resolved already. My web pages are
embarassingly outdated.

FreeBSD 1.1.8 supports only green threads, not native threads. I believe
thread starvation is one of the problems that green threads have more than
native threads.

 TV is the worst  of both  worlds.  It's not  as
 good at words  as radio is because the pictures
 are a distraction  which demand  attention, and
 it's not as good as cinema because the pictures
 are not nearly as good.
