Chris, 
I've asked about this as well during the last 3 months.  From what I've
learned, Ultrix is substantially different in it's kernel level calls in 
regards to NetBSD.

I need a working Pthreads so that the Mysql server module will compile/run.  
I've been using the client and libs for several months, which doesn't require
the pthreads library with NetBSD 1.3 with no problems.

One of the Mysql developers actually looked at the NetBSD 1.3/pmax and needed 
additional information on assembly language calls that Netbsd would make.  

For now, I'm running Mysql on a FreeBSD 2.2.5 PC sitting next to my 5000/240.  
I just read where FreeBSD 2.2.6 will have working, native threads, when it's
released.

Bill
