Chris, do you have some references for this? I'd love to read up on it to find out what's coming. All references to NPTL I can find via google as it relates to changes in 2.6 talk about how 2.6 has additional clone() options that NPTL takes advantage of (most of them reference a text that is available at http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/422). Also, why are you down on clone() -- I trust you, but I want to learn! :) -- Andy Bakun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
