Oops, I just replied to otherBill with the current code before I saw this note.
What convenient way do you suggest for the signal function to know about the
list of threads that are supposed to exist. I am pretty new to using pthread
stuff, but I didn't see anything in the docs to suggest a way to wait for all
kids and I didn't see where the list if kid tids was being kept. The child_main
seems to be the only place where that info resides (briefly until overwritten).
If you have a better suggestion than the code I showed otherBill, please let
me know. I am still testing this code (it takes a while for things to go south).
Thanks,
