We could implement pthread_cancel rather easily (I have some crufty patches lying around somewhere to do it), but it wouldn't be nearly POSIX compliant. Some non-cancellable routines would be cancellable, and vice-versa I think too. We need to take a different approach to our threads library in the form of scheduler activations. I _can_ hack in the pthread_cancel routines into our current libc_r, but I'd much rather spend my time looking into scheduler activations which will better solve the problem.
