I'm not Edward, and I probably know about 1/100th as much as he does on this topic, but in case he doesn't respond: <http://www.apple.com/macosx/jaguar/unix.html> states that much of FreeBSD 4.4 has been backported to Darwin, so perhaps that includes a threadsafe localtime? In addition, the page notes that "Reentrant variants of standard functions in the C library, such as strtok_r,¹ help you port thread-safe versions of UNIX applications." Can't say if that's meaningful to this discussion or not, but I thought I'd mention it because it sounds relevant. - geoff
