How to you propose to handle priorieties for different "thread thingies" --- "thread thingies" being a yet to be defined thread implementation. What I am think is that for whatever reason there are applications which want threads to be running at different priorities for instance "Kaffe" wants or needs threads running at different priorities. *Not interested in arguing about whether Kaffe's thread management is broken or not *. -- Amancio Hasty hasty@rah.star-gate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
