Hi Alexei,

About NPTL, I think debugging is not a good idea.
Only tracing should be appropriate.

We are working on a NPTL Trace Tool that will provide information about
calls to NPTL routines and about the internals of NPTL, helping both end-users
of PThread routines and NPTL developers.

A prototype is available at:
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/nptltracetool

Some information (more at end of month) at:
	http://nptl.bullopensource.org/


Cordialement/Regards,
