That was what I really needed. Thank you! It is not stated clearly in the pthreads man page. The man page still says it is a userland library implementation, which obviously is not true anymore. That's why I asked. Now, for the following, what's up with the immediate disclaimers? Only asked a question, sheesh. Nobody asked for support or anything similar. Being with OpenBSD since 1996, I kinda know the versioning and the terms for the support. > As for how to do > that, well, to quote section 5.1 of the FAQ: > ------ > One should also understand that the upgrade process is supported in > only one direction: from older to newer, and from -stable to -current. > You can not run 5.0-current (or a snapshot), then decide you are > living too dangerously, and step back to 5.0-stable.
