Hi Andrey,
I'm using Pthread library which is available with
netbsd 1.6
I'ld like to know which thread library you are using
and are there any flags (extra) to be used while
compilation.
Cuz even i've received messages on both the sockets
incase the main thread is sent message first. But
sometimes if i try sending messages to the other
thread first and then the main thread wouldnot receive
any. And mostly the behavior is non-deterministic.
thanks
