Once shown to work it can. The snag is that (presumably) Linux/glibc gets detected as having a pthread_yield() or whatever, and Configure test is not robust enough to find it does not work. If "you" can establish that sleep(0) _works_ we can add that to some linux hints file so that threads->yield starts using it. > > >I will try this and report the result... > > >Liz -- Nick Ing-Simmons http://www.ni-s.u-net.com/
