Can somebody verify this? This is true. Thread-local storage is evidently still a problem .. many problems manifest themselves only when pre-empt is turned on. The 2.5 kernel has had many pre-empt fixes put into it, more than 2.4, so if you really want to play with the pre-empt patch, you might rather play with 2.5. -- "Sniff you jerks later." -- Captain Murphy
