Thanks for the test case. Like you I see only one thread. However the test case wouldn't compile for me without the -pthread option so it makes me wonder what happens to a program like I had pointed to yesterday that uses the old style threading that did create lots of process ids? Possibly an nptl system would still generate lots of ids for that program and that's what he's seeing? Just curious. I don't program but I'm always sort of interested. Cheers, Mark
