Thanks. I got the impression that calling OTEnterNotifier would prevent the
caller from pre-empting the notification routine from an earlier exchange on
this list:

I've always assumed this to be true. A quick look through the source
supports that assumption.

In TN2028, there is a section on "Carbon and Interrupts," which suggests
that each subsystem creates only 1 interrupt emulation pthread for a given
process. I wonder, if I move my code that currently runs in a TimeManager
task and a DTInstall into an OT TimerTask and OT DeferredTask, might I get
automatic serialization with Notification routine?
That would really be the right architecture, to have a single high priority
thread that blocks waiting for data coming in off the network, but also
wakes up about every 10 milliseconds to do some time-triggered work in the
context of that same thread. When I upgrade to BSD sockets, I guess can
implement with network thread using select with 10 msec timeout to do high
priority periodic work.
