I'm not aware of an official plan to do this, but many months ago, I ported a MxN threading model implementation (NGPT) to FreeBSD. The code is certainly not production quality - but might be a good starting point to start hacking, if you're interested in working on it. Searching for "ngpt-1.0.1 freebsd" on google should take you to the right place. -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
