Re: pthread_signal() references illegal memory address

By the way, if it wasn't clear, the problem *is* with the pthread_kill()

it, the program works (I mean the real program running as a service).
That was the last thing that I added, so it isn't a question of the
culprit being elsewhere.
pthread_kill is broken and has never worked as expected. To fix it the
signal code in cygwin must be changed to support multithreaded apps, so
do not expect that this will work in the near future.
