Seems so :-(  But for X86 based free Unixes I can build (an even faster
version (no sigmasks)) myself.  And people toying with non-X86 Linux/*BSD
will have to invest some work (and I guess they are used to do so *g*).

So what about the Microsoft camp?  Do they have these functions in their
POSIX compatibility pack? (don't know if such a thing exists ;-)

Thanks, ET.

Seems I'm getting too old.  Even linkers start to emit strange warnings...
