Right. I now understand what /lib/tls is all about. : ) The threadtest program on an x86 [kernel 2.6.12 and libc 2.3.5-4] with LinuxThreads ('LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so.0:/lib/libc.so.6 ./threadtest') does not result in zombie threads. It does produce the different proc accounting though. -T -- Tyson Whitehead ([EMAIL PROTECTED] -- WSC-) Computer Engineer Dept. of Applied Mathematics, Graduate Student- Applied Mathematics University of Western Ontario, GnuPG Key ID# 0x8A2AB5D8 London, Ontario, Canada
