Hi Nathan, everyone,

We cleared it up off-list. From his email I thought he was using some
other pthread library because of the way he worded it, but he's using the
glibc pthread just the same as the native JDK.
Evidently the 1.1.7v3 native threading is still a bit broken because his
simple test program doesn't work. It works on the IBM JDK 1.1.8 but other
problems occur there.
I've pointed him to the the beta JDK 1.2, which has better native
threading.
But in any case, none of the native threads implementations are exactly
mature yet so I'm unsure how much success he will have.
. . . Sean.
