This default has never changed in NPTL, you are probably confused by using LinuxThreads headers in earlier glibc versions. LinuxThreads used to default to PREFER_WRITER, but never so in NPTL. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4979 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
