RE: [PATCH] Re: pthread


 >_Xglobal_lock_p

This is fixed in my version of dll.  It still crashed. Therefore
I am not sure it is a DLL issue and i agree (so far) with Robs comments.
I am compiling now pthread-win32 from sources.redhat.com
Let's see what happen next.

It seems the DLL is creating the reference to _Xglobal_lock as
_Xglobal_lock_p
and therefore when libXext tries to find the value of _Xglobal_lock it
really gets it's pointer reference rather than it's actual value.

I don't know how the dllwrap tools handles the _p =  fudging in the
.def file. 

And I don't think it's a pthread issue at all. We're not even creating
any
threads (twm doesn't create any threads).
