I don't know about the general case, but OS X does treat the main thread specially here; the (native, not X11) framework sets up the connection to Core Graphics in the main thread before invoking the main program, so you can't make whatever it is (thread local storage seems likely) happen in a different thread. -- brandon s allbery allber...@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
