boehm-gc: 'cant fork daemon' on Solaris2.7?

Tue Jul 15 15:58:00 GMT 2003

I don't recall seeing this before. A thr_create call failed. It was
trying to start a daemon that's used to handle joins as part of the GC's
support for Solaris threads. A system call trace might tell you a little
more.
Currently Solaris thread support is completely different from pthread
support on other platforms. That has some performance advantages there,
but it also means that parallel collection and thread-local allocation
don't currently work, and parallel collection can't work with the current
scheme. I would prefer to see the code merged.
