Threads do not work well on FreeBSD, any version that we have tested. We had serious problems with threads and sendfile on FreeBSD 4.2, and some unexplainable looping that went away when we removed the threads. The reason testsock fails with threads, is that sendfile is completely unpredicatable on FreeBSD with threads. A full description of what we saw when enabled threads on FreeBSD can be found in the development archives sometime in January.
