Unfortunately, the distributed parts of our app is a relatively smal
part of the whole system, and it would generate a lot of work for other
people. That's why the move to HP/Itanium, which would solve all our
problems, is not completed.
And yes, I can verify that threads and 2.95.2 do not mix, from
experience with other, non-distributed code that I've written :(
Thanks for the info.

Do not use threads with gcc 2.95.2 since there is a compiler bug which will
cause your code to crash from time to time

Subject: [mico-devel] Solaris 2.6 incompatible with threaded 2.3.11
A follow-up to some investigating I've done into ny Solaris 2.6 problem
with 2.3.11:
1) I tried compiling 2.3.11 with --enable-threads --enable-pthreads and
gcc 2.95.2, 3.3.2, and 3.4.4 with no success because apparently 2.6 has
no support for POSIX read/write locks.
2) I tried those same compilers with --enable-threads
--enable-solaris-threads, also to no avail because there were a lot of
compile errors due to the MICO namespace.
3) Compiling without threads worked fine, but my app always gets
TRANSIENT failures whenever I compile with -DREENTRANT, regardless of
wether I actually have multiple threads in the program or even if I have
multiple threads, but only one that interacts with the orb.
If I can find the time, I'll fix it, but for now, I think Solaris 2.6
should be taken off of the compatibility list for multi-threaded 2.3.11
if it were ever explicitly on it.
