There is no sense in wasting the time of one informed developer to help
one uninformed developer; this is a bad tradeoff unless the uninformed
developer is showing signs of promise. The only way to assess this is
to look at the questions they ask and the context they're asking them
from.

Still, you'll find a lot of them around. Do you have a favored
technique for coding complex state machines? (I'm a collector :)
yes, state tables. Clean and easy to modify.

Now this is very good advice.
I am certainly going to keep Darryl's comments somewhere for easy
reference in order to make sure I at least never forget where I came
from and how to treat others.
I think everybody should heed this advice.

Do you mean pthreads?
If so, we still do not have a pthread_cancel in our libc_r which could
greatly make things harder to implement. I think OpenBSD has one and we
might do well to look at that one.
We could implement pthread_cancel rather easily (I have some crufty

The qcam driver disappeared from the kernel years ago since it easily
caused kernel panics and wasn't maintained.
