-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Now that I've switched emails, hopefully this goes through.. I posted it in alt.os.linux.suse, but if I can this through it probably belongs here instead... I was reading this months issue of Dr. Dobb's and they have an interesting (at least for me ;^) article on Linux threads. So I went my development machine and did the test they provided. According to the program they had in the listing (tested the thread PID with the process PID) and it reported that I was running with LinuxThreads however when I : getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION I got NPTL 2.3.4.

I found one thread on another subject where they said that if I was using the i586 version of glibc it would use LinuxThreads instead of NPTL. To get around this they said to use the i686 version. Problem is I am already using it. Am I missing something.. Or totally missing the point??? - -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.?
