I am having huge troubles with SunOS's LWP library (using SunOS 4.0.3 on a SS-1) and I would urgently like to hear anybody's experiences with using this library. In particular I'm curious to find out whether anyone else has experienced the library losing track of who currently has possession of a monitor (I'm absolutely dead sure that I'm releasing the monitor but I still [occassionally] end up with more than one thread waiting on it and none allowed in) and also people's experiences with standard I/O (in particular, does the non-blocking I/O library work as advertised or is my program coming to a halt because fprintf() has blocked? If so, how do I get around this problem?). Finally, are there any other LWP libraries for the SPARC architecture which provide similar primitives but actually work as advertised without all the trauma. james jamesp@bison.cs.uwa.oz.au
