I notice that pthread_cancel() is not in the beta4_1 release of MIT
pthreads. Since I don't have the POSIX document and I can't test the
routine, maybe someone out there can tell me what happens to local
variables in the canceled thread: are their destructors called? What
about mutexes that are held by the canceled thread? (btw, I know about
using a ``token holder'' or locker class to handle unexpected exits,
I'm just wondering what happens if they aren't used)
Thanks,
Bill Gribble
