POSIX makes no guarantees for threads delivery of signals. Specifically, signals are not thread-things, they are process things, and there are seperate threads-things for sending the moral equivalents (e.g. pthread_kill) to threads on an individual basis, but the system is not expected to make a distinction on signal delivery as to what theread is running, nor are there expected to be per thread masking, etc.. Garrett would probably be the right person to ask; he's a much better POSIX lawyer. This is really the problem I tried to explain earlier when it came to the disabling on SIG_POLL on a per descriptor basis. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
