Hi Oren,

I grabbed the most recent v22-dev that includes the updates.  I'm
still experiencing the same issue.  Testing with -F indicates that the
second thread isn't being restarted.  The code that I'm using is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define OUTFILE "/tmp/cr-self.out"

void *
func (void *arg)
{
  FILE *file;
  int counter = 0;

  file = fopen(OUTFILE, "w+");

    while (1){
        sleep(2);
        counter++;
        fprintf(file, "Count %d\n", counter);
        fflush(file);
    }

return NULL;
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  pthread_t thread;
  close (0);
  close (1);
  close (2);
  unlink (OUTFILE);

  pthread_create(&thread, NULL, func, NULL);
  pthread_join(thread, NULL);
  return 0;
}

Thanks for your help,
JP
