My program in Lazarus *is* a "simple program" and it has no GUI components.

I never even looked at the implementation of CheckSynchronize()...
It was just given in another thread when I was working on the port from Delphi
to Linux and thus from the Windows GUI environment to the non-GUI command line
program environment.

It was needed in the main loop in order for threads down inside the program to
be able to transfer their data into an event handler which is processing
incoming data.

Originally I had a sleep(5) inside the loop too, but I took that out when it was
clear that CheckSynchronize had a timeout argument (optional).

It is now close to midnight so I have to postpone any testing until tomorrow.

Well, then there is something else going on at GMane...
I am using a newsreader to communicate with the mail list via GMane and on this
fpc list posts I make are shown after a little wait.

But on the lazarus list I post and I do not see my message at all in the list,
even now after so long time has passed.
But when I sent the same post via email to the list then it appeared almost
directly. And following that I have received replies to my emailed query on the
GMane server...
I wonder why it does not list the posts I make via GMane but does so for the
posts I email?
Note: it seems opnly to affect the lazarus list.

Anyway, it is not an fpc topic, I just posted here to get in touch with people
also on the lazarus list

Seems to be GMane...
I repeated the posting via email instead and this appears in the GMane listing.
So their posting function seems to have broken for the lazarus list. :(

[fpc-pascal] Is the Lazarus list down? (2021-10-04)

[Bo Berglund via fpc-pascal]

I have tried to post to the list (via GMane) but it does not come through.
And the last post made seems to be on 2021-10-01...
Is the list itself down or is there a GMane problem?
