Sai-Lai,
Thank you very much for verification.

Are these results from the same pthread library? Because the
problem seemed to be accompanied by memory-leak (about 4K/thread),
I was begining to suspect one of the pthread calls other than
pthread_create().

Well, the debug-run I was letting go in another virtual terminal
has stopped. It seems the exception is thrown as a result of
pthread_detach() in omnit_thread::start() failing. The example
with direct pthread calls (which works) that I mentioned in a
previous mail does NOT use pthread_detach(). As you say, it
looks like your time will be better spent in working on other
things than tracking the source of this problem. I'll get
back to you if I find anything more.
