(I suspect not, because when I last | used Solaris it acted that way). In all my tests I was using blocking (at least from the application's point-of-view) sockets. On Linux I used the standard pthreads library, which is kernel-based, although the implementation of the threading library should, hopefully, be irrelevant. I can't say much about my Solaris tests until I can get back on the machine. Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
