The main issue with LinuxThreads is that :we'd go from running ~25 processes on this server to running ~800.

It isn't the best solution, but it's a pretty good temporary solution. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
