I have another Linux threads question. Since POSIX threads are already built into the libc6 in hamm, I assume that the standard C libraries are also thread-safe. The guys who are developing on the Linux Debian systems that I built for them have been telling me of some odd things that they have observed. Code with threads and select/read/write behaves differently on Linux than it does on Solaris. They keep getting "resource not available" errors on the file descriptors. On the Solaris man pages there is an MT-LEVEL section that specifies whether a function is thread safe or not. They assume that because a similar section is not seen in the Linux man pages, the functions may not be thread safe. However I think that if libc6 in hamm supports POSIX threads, then the library functions in there must be thread safe. Any ideas on this from you guys?
