[kaffe] Re: bugwatcher problems

[Ean Schuessler]

As I recall (Dalibor will need to correct me here) forking a process with=20
pthreads just plain doesn't work. The details escape me at this point other=
=20
than the complexities of managing the relationship between the thread and t=
he=20
forked process hadn't really been worked out. Of course, this is going back=
=20
to when I talked to Tim Wilkinson about the problem. For all I know, its=20
fixed.

Is it fixed? If not, enabling pthreads will break many, many Ant builds.
