Can anyone tell me if NetBSD supports POSIX threads? If so does this support
extend into the kernal?
The reason I ask is that I would like to try running Dartmouth's "BlitzMail"
with *BSD, but it requires either NextStep's "cthreads" or POSIX "pthreads" in
order to operate. Has anyone done this already?
I have heard, in the past, that pthreads ran just dandy on NetBSD.
Have never tried it myself, however.
