That's the only lib that works... :-)

- pth is not kernel level thread  .. It is user level.
- If a thread blocks preempt all threads.  BAD thing... Need to call pth_???
wrappwer..

Maybe some bsd gurus can predict when the kernel level thread will be
available?

Hello,

I found that POSIX threads (pthreads) does not appear to be standard-issue
on NetBSD (I'm a newbie).  I found a package called "pth" which appears to
be a GNU threading library that has pthreads emulation support.  Is this
what most people who are doing pthreads development on NetBSD use?

thanks,
-bp
