alexander,
Is it correct if I put pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE, NULL)
after the small piece of code where I don't want a cancelation point? I am
aware that if I start using pthread_setcancelstate() in my code I should
take care to use the "oldstate" as described in the RATIONALE and restore
the state correctly.
I was only using pthread_setcancelstate to confirm if there was a problem
with the pthread_mutex_lock() function in the 2002-11-04 snapshot.
Thanks,
Simon
