On FreeBSD/OpenBSD my program outright core dumped and I could not figure out why for days and days. Now I have two separate builds - one built with "-D_REENTRANT -DTHREADS ... -lpthread" and one without. Only with Linux do you have the freedom of which you speak. Well lets ask this question: "does fork() replicate all Thread Local Storage data or not?" It certainly replicates the heap. It replicates all static data. It replicates all global data. But TLS? What does POSIX say about that? It's a tricky question. You will see the POSIX lords actually have something to say about it :-) -paul
