You'll have to tell us more about "UNIX threads" :-) Robust is more of
a marketing term. Doesn't mean much in technical circles.
Start here:

The primary difference between Linuxthreads and the thread implementations
on other Unixes is that Linux chooses to do 1:1 mapping between user
and kernel threads (like NT). Traditional UNIXes do "m x n" mappings.
