I am building with -D_REENTRANT so the thread-safe can i make a suggestion to you. try running find(1) on all your header files and feed the results through grep looking for REENTRANT. on my system (fedora core 1), there are *zero* occurences of this. AFAIK, the thread-safe versions of malloc/free are part of the pthreads library that is linked to your code. the _REENTRANT macro is a stub thing that lives on in case one day there does need to be something in the header files, but actually does nothing on any (most?) current linux systems. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
