Well, this shows me that on such a system all VDR threads have the same PID, but different SPIDs. I don't think that this has in any way changed through Johannes' patch. What would be interesting would be the log excerpts corresponding to these test runs, where the VDR threads log their 'pid' and 'tid' values. Maybe you could post these, too? Klaus
