Thanks for the test case. Like you I see only one thread. However the
test case wouldn't compile for me without the -pthread option so it
makes me wonder what happens to a program like I had pointed to
yesterday that uses the old style threading that did create lots of
process ids? Possibly an nptl system would still generate lots of ids
for that program and that's what he's seeing?

Just curious. I don't program but I'm always sort of interested.

Cheers,
