I added the new pod.[ch] files so that other MPMs could continue to use the current functions. Long-term, we probably want to combine the functions. Also, this was tested on Linux, so graceful seems to work. Unfortunately, graceless doesn't work any better than it used to, because Linux doesn't kill threads if the main thread in the process dies. I know how to fix it, but it will require using pthread_cancel, which we have always avoided in the past. I want to stress that this is the same behavior we were getting before this change. Tomorrow I will code the pthread_cancel stuff and post a patch for review. I am assuming that using pthread_cancel will generate some discussion. :-) Ryan
