Thank you, Ivo Raisr. That makes sense and seems to fix my problem. I think the relevant section of POSIX is: > A side-effect of acting on a cancellation request while a thread is > blocked on a condition variable is to re-acquire the mutex before > calling any of the cancellation cleanup handlers. I find it strange that GLibc does not implement this case properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
