Could checkout kaffe from cvs.kaffe.org ? And send me a diff with
your changes ?

In unix-jthread, all file descriptors are set in asynchronous mode to
block on thread, not on whole process.

Quoted from FAQ/FAQ.pthread:
Kaffe can now make use of native threads (currently only Linux pthreads).
To enable this add the following option to configure:
--with-threads=unix-pthreads
Note that this will only work with GLIBC 2.1.2 or later.
