Well, it seems like I'll be cthreading some stuff then. I've not had a
chance to look through the docs yet, but I seem to remember a discussion
about the hurd's libc pthreads implementation effectively gluing pthread
calls to cthread ones. Just out of interest for the moment (obviously
I'll be digging deep into it soon,) are cthreads similar to pthreads
with respect to general usage or should I be expecting to learn a new
paradigm?
Cheers,
Bob
