hello,

short question please, could it be that you use gcc3.x together with
glibc2.2.x to compile balsa ?

i ldd'ed /etc/libpthreads.so and got this

libpthread-0.9.so:
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001d000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4014f000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libpthread.so.0:
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001d000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4014f000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

from what i know libgcc_s.so isnt binary compatible so it may be this
but on the otherhand... why does sending and accessing local mayboxes
work with pthreads... strange strange...

i am now working for a longer period on this thing now e.g. step'ping
through all lines of the code only to figure out whats going on. well
if my pthreads is broken then i may understand this but i dont understand
why the rest of the balsa code works perfectly with pthreads (so does
other apps too).
