jb 97/04/01 14:50:01 Modified: lib/libc_r/uthread uthread_fd.c Log: Make error checking less zealous to handle devices like /dev/null which don't provide a non-blocking interface. This is a short term "fix" which changes a half-lose to a half-win. The thread that accesses a device that does not provide a non-blocking interface will block for its time slice. A medium term solution would be to use rfork. A long-term solution would be some sort of kernel thread/SMP implementation. Revision Changes Path 1.4 +10 -2 src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_fd.c
