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:
