To supplement this, I'd also suggest having a look at the detailed 
comments and implementations in the the linux-2.6 kernel.  I think they 
help to put many of the concepts presented in both that document and the 
SUS into some perspective.

Slightly off-topic (I know), but I think these other papers by Uli also 
make for good reading (some of the concepts in Chapter 5 could be 
relevant to making Cygwin's threading more robust):

Cheers,
