pthread problems

Hi all,

I've got a problem with pthreads in Mac OS X. Currently I'm porting a library that relies heavily on POSIX, especially on pthread multithreading.

I'm wondering, why pthread_kill() doesn't exist on Mac OS X. I tried to use pthread_cancel() or pthread_detach() as a replacement, but no thread gets killed. When debugging with PB / gdb, I get a call chain that looks like

	0 semaphore_wait_trap
	1 pthread_exit
	2 _pthread_body

	(all greyed out)

for all threads that should already by killed.

Is this a Darwin bug or is it possible for a thread to be "locked" so that it can't terminate?

Any help appreciated,

Mark
