OK, so basically this is an OpenBSD/pthread bug. I'm stil

This is all behind the applications back, between the thread

Wait, what?!
When does this happen? At exec? And does it just apply to fd's 0-2?
Can you point me to a manpage?

That is exactly the problem then. Just linking with libpthread is enough,
for userland threading to work it has to use non-blocking FDs and
If pthreads is the issue, then I have two questions:
1) is the behavior of changing stdio to non_blocking when using pthreads
unique to OpenBSD?
2) why would this call fix the problem:
fcntl(datafd, F_GETFL, 0);
does that have other side effects?
Thanks,

It links with libpthread. I am told that on the client side it uses a single
thread. Would that make a difference?
Also, I forgot to include a link to the *very* long thread on the Amanda
list discussing this problem:

Hi All,
We have been working for a couple weeks with the Amanda developers to get
their latest release working on OpenBSD 4.5. Amanda stopped working with
OpenBSD somewhere around version 2.5.1 (3 years ago). We've been focusing on
a failure in the dump process on the client.
On the client side,
