Wow, thanks a lot for fixing that one!It's been a long time bug that 
noone got around to fix. Thanks again!

Feel free to improve anything else you come across, your debut was very 
good ;)

I believe that it is available with pthreads.

I've CC:ed Tim Stack[1] & Guilhem Lavaux on that one.

With the greatest pleasure.

On a side note, as you're (hopefully) planning to contribute a few more 
patches in your kaffe hacking career, I need to ask you whether you're 
tainted, i.e. if you have looked at Sun's source code, decompiled it, or 
signed NDAs that prevent you from contributing.

Sounds weird, I know, but I wouldn't like someone pulling an SCO on us.

cheers,
