Hi friends,

I seems that i have buggy implementation of pthread_timedjoin_np.

Although linux does not documented this function yet ( see
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/missing_pages.html ), I suspect that on
my installation
this function does not work properly because it returns  sometimes 0,
sometimes 110 and does not set errno to ETIMEOUT.


After some googling I still do not know how to get thread status.

As an idea i thought about using the futex() to check memory pointed my
thread handle, but
I am almost sure this solution (if pthread handle indeed references memory)
is dirty, ...

I saw on this list people with experience in thread programming and  I am
hope for you help.

Cheers,
Lev
