Hello all,

I wrote a short man page documented some of the details of
NPTL that might affect application developers. Review comments
would be most welcome.

Thanks,

POSIX specifies that process-shared pthread_mutex_t's can be manipulatedby independent processes, however the AMD64 and i386 versions of themutex structures are incompatible and cannot be shared.

This might be true of the other supposedly sharable primitives, I neverbothered to check the rest when I first noticed the problem with mutexes.
