Re: request for help

[Pawel Salek <pawsa TheoChem kth se>]

there is a function:

/* Terminate all threads in the program except the calling process.
   Should be called just before invoking one of the exec*() functions. 
*/

extern void pthread_kill_other_threads_np (void) __THROW;

I guess it is the one we should try to call...
