Hi Ulrich,
I hear that you and Ingo are working on a replacement thread library
(according to Ingo's post of 8/16/2002, 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102949331625369&w=2 )
Is that correct?  If so, are any details about this project available?

We'd love to hear your ideas for the future of glibc thread support on
Linux.
Do you see the NGPT project
(http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/pthreads/)
fitting in somewhere?  (Personally, I'm not so thrilled with their plans
for N:M thead support; even Sun is giving up on that.)

Thanks,
Dan
