That's because the POSIX threads library in Mac OS X 10.1 is insufficiently featureful.

Whether and when that meanders its way into a working Ocaml kit is a hard guess. -- j h woodyatt ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
