Subject: pthread masters (that's you guy)


i'm considering working on a binding to a library (drmaa) that, itself
requires/uses libpthread.  what are the issues with using such a library from
a ruby built with/without pthred support?

if the c calls themselves manage the pthreads directly (which they do)
wouldn't it be sufficient to simply protect access to these calls from more
than 1 ruby thread at a time?
