Then FreeDCE should be fixed to be POSIX-compliant, I think.
Or is there something subtle going on here?
the behaviour of LinuxThreads is different from NPTL.
therefore, given that this cancellation thing matters for dce
applications (the runtime relies on it being possible) i thought
you might wish to be aware of this subtle difference in case
Wine MSRPC or other applications also rely on it.
that's all - nothing more.
Right. Nothing subtle, then. I guess FreeDCE needs some
work to run on NPTL or other POSIX-compliant threads packages,
as it's using Linuxthreads behavior that is an extension of POSIX threads.
(Surely FreeDCE doesn't *need* to longjmp out of a cancellation handler;
it can't be that hard to fix.) Thanks for the heads up.
