Ooog, the May 4th ones are a bit out of date. Several of them have been merged, others revised. I posted a revised version of the thread signal handling patch on Sep 17th. I have some stuff beyond that, but I need to merge the feedback I've already received and do some more testing before I send it out anywhere. > Or even better, what is the preferred way to test > rthreads for an application?

I.e., in $HOME/lib I have a copy of librthread.so under the name libpthread.so.11.0, so if I start a program with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib in its environment, then it uses rthreads instead of user-level threads. That works as long as the program (a) isn't setuid, and (b) doesn't itself mishandle LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Philip Guenther
