Here are the gory details: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3544685group_id=10894atid=110894 Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated since it seems to be the last problem holding back a move to threaded Tcl. It's all a bit beyond me and there aren't many other tcl/obsd people in tcl-land who have the time/skill to look into this, so, yeah, as mentioned, help would be great. I'm available for testing and trying out stuff. Thanks, Stu

I've also seen a ruby 1.9 regress failure related to select after the
upgrade to rthreads. I haven't had time to look into it yet, though.
While on the topic of threading ports, I made a patch for the erlang port:
When starting erl with this port, it prints - [smp:2:2] [rq:2] on a
dual-core as expected
Only tested on amd64.
Hope gmail won't make the diff all worthless. It's easy enough to
retype I think.
I have verified that a 2-core laptop does fibonaccis twice as fast
with this patch, have no idea how to test it more than this (ie. I
don't have a decent ejabberd or other env. to haunt, the port doesn't
have a regress target)

Tcl and rthreads.
I'd like to (eventually) make threaded Tcl the default and have a nonthreaded flavor. Currently experiencing the following test failures which didn't happen before rthreads: async-4.3 fails on i386 and amd64 (sporadic) event-14.1 fails on i386 (sporadic) interp-36.7 fails on i386 and amd64 Also, unixFCmd-15.2 fails on amd64.

After I posted I was thinking that the nonthreaded flavor wasn't necessary. Still doesn't fix the problems with threads, though. Stu
