Should be OK, as long as the pthreads library is stable (mmm ... when did nptl make it into glibc?) and you're running a recent (perhaps patched) kernel. > > Might be worth a try, if you say it's stable enough ;) Yeah, it's always hard to say "it's stable enough" because all I see most of the time are bug reports and there are still a some annoying problems. But a lot of work has gone into v5 and reports are quite positive. As well, bug fixes and enhancements tend to introduce new and interesting bugs so it's an ongoing effort. But then it's been included in RHEL-5 from initial release and it's holding up fine.
