I suspect the question was rather more specific than that, due to bad experiences with LinuxThreads. Does FreeBSD have a proper signal delivery model, where thread masks are per-signal, and signals sent to the process when all threads within the process have the signal blocked remain pending against the process so any thread may accept the signal using sigwait()/sigtimedwait()/sigwaintinfo(). I suspect the answer is yes, but I haven't played with threads on recent versions enough. -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.5" / 37N 20' 15.3" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32-ARIN Free time?
