Description J. Ali Harlow 2004-03-08 11:43:53 UTC 
If threads are implemented using light weight processes then child-test
hangs when make check is issued as follows:

make  check-TESTS
make[4]: Entering directory
`/files0/home/avrc/external/glib/build/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/tests'
PASS: atomic-test
PASS: array-test
PASS: cxx-test
whee! created pid: 1402 (ttl 10)
whee! created pid: 1403 (ttl 20)
<hangs>

I have solved this by merging in jrb's updated test program from:

Note that this was changed at Owen's suggestion to the current
implementation, See the end of:

Comment 3 Sebastian Wilhelmi 2004-03-08 15:00:41 UTC 
Additionally to updating the test program we should also really
mention in the docs, that for multithreading it is not going to work
for linux pior to 2.6, That was also the plan according to
