"Foo works perfectly on Linux, but I get all these warnings here about forking with waiting condition variables. Why is cygwin broken?" If python forks() and immediately exec's then it's not buggy, spec speaking. If python forks() and then does other stuff... well thats not so good... particularly if it used pshared mutex's or cond variables. Although in a certain sense pshared syncronisation is easier, because the new thread can simply be not given ownership of the mutex's and it just has to try and acquire them... BTW: Greg, if you'd like to try that speed comparison between win32pthreads, and cygwin pthreads again, I think you'll like the results... Rob
