Yes and no. The other part of the code that's not done yet is in the actual thread creation. Try to trace through the pthread_create call, you'll find that the code gets confused when the Mach thread has to be created. I got confused then because I found two different functions which seemed to do the same thing, __mach_thread_setup() and __mach_setup_thread(). One was already in the glibc and the other was only in the pthread patch. And didn't finnish sorting through them when I stopped working on the code. Igor
