Help about doc on source of JDK

[Pierre Bizzotto]

Hi, 
 We have some problem about the mind of the source code of the JDK 1.1.6.

 we are two students at University of Rome in COMPUTER SCIENCE. We have
the source code of JDK of the SUN. 

 We must generate a JVM for a parallel machine. But we have some difficult
to understand how the THread are handled by the O.S.

We are working on Linux  RedHat 5.1 /Suse 6.0 with JDK 1.1.6.

This documentation is very important for us.

Thankyou

        if (timerIsSet(&timeout)) {
            t = timeout;
            timerSub(&t, &time);
            sysAssert(timerIsSet(&t));
            scheduleAlarm(t);
        }
        Log(3,"...clockHandler() woke up\n");
        mid = CLOCK_MID();
        queueWait(mid, &mid->condvar_waitq);
