[kaffe] Re: bugwatcher problems

[Ean Schuessler]

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

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