You are right. It doesn't happen with green threads.
But the code in invoke.c does not explicitly create any
native threads.
I should read up on the pthreads implementation on Linux.
Are these pthreads processes in anyway different from normal
processes (i.e context switch is inexpensive)? Or does
the 'ps' command on Linux, lists threads not processes?
Thanks.
