None of the IB libraries have been audited for posix async cancellation safety. To do this work someone would have to review every call to determine if it is a cancelation point, and document this as part of the API. Then review if any of the internal cancelation points in the cancelable functions require a resource clean up, and add it. IHMO, cancelation should not be used with threads that call into the ib libraries.
