THREADS SUPPORT
Getting threads support might be hairy on some platforms, most
platforms have threads support but quite a few have problems running
external processes (through create_process). By default threads
support is disabled on platforms where threading is known not to work
100% properly.
IRIX: Starting many processes causes a resource error which sometimes
causes a complete hang and 100% cpu usage.
FreeBSD 3.x: Symptoms are similar to IRIX, but the problem has
something to do with signal handling. (And as you may know,
process handling uses signals on UNIX...)
Linux: Not all linux variations have 100% working threads, in fact
most libc5 systems do not work very well with threads. Threads
support is enabled by default on Linux, but we recommend running
'make verify' after compilation. This will (hopefully) tell you
if your threads are not working.
