BTW, the Single Unix Specification (www.opengroup.org)
seems to require that pthread_t is a numeric type:

(See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/systypes.h.html)

----------
[...]
pthread_t   Used to identify a thread. 
[...]
All of the types are defined as arithmetic types of an
appropriate length.

I am not sure how these specs are related to POSIX
though.

D.P.
