My understanding is that pthread_cond_wait is a cancellation point, which means if a cancellation actually happens there, cleanup routines will be called, and the thread will exit instead of returning to the caller, which is of course *not* what we want here. We want hurd_condition_wait to report to the caller that it was cancelled, nothing more. -- Richard Braun -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
