The thread_test program checks to see if the non-r functions are thread safe. If so, it directs you to set xxxx=yes in the template file - I assume that causes the non-r function to be used. If they are not thread safe, it directs you to use xxxx=no - which I assume causes the *_r functions to be used. Why would you not *always* use the _r functions if they exist, and only check for thread safety if the _r functions do not exist? Or, am I misunderstanding how the xxx=yes is used?
