  There has been a quite lively discussion of Boost.threads library &
allied POSIX/pthread topics on the comp.std.c++ newsgroup in the past
week.  I strongly suggest that all Boosters interested in
(explaining/defending, critiquing, or expanding) the current state of
Boost.threads read recent postings to the "C++ and threads"
(news-group-)thread.  The "C++ and threads" thread & response-postings
have contained both praise & criticisms of the current state of
Boost.threads.
