Re: Unixware 714 pthreads

I agree with all that you say Tom, I'm just asking for some help to debug
this, Now that Larry is a litle off the list, I'm feeling really lonely on
UW.
SCO won't do anything until I come up with a test program that fails. All
my tries did work until then.

I use other threaded progs like postfix or bind that nether fail.

I'm really at lost. Would you/someone help me?

Best regards
