Thats too bad - I wrote a multi-threaded proxy server that kept having random crashes. Turns out that SIGPIPE can't be trapped with eval ( at least not on Solaris ) in child threads and the signal was going to the parent thread. I don't feel that it's reasonable to trade in exception handling for threads ( or vice versa ). Maybe I'm just being greedy... Cheers, -J
