I assume he means "the thread tester should work"?<BR>
But agreed, the vast vast vast vast majority of things are ok and have been ok for the vast vast vast majority of Modula-3's existance.<BR>
Even in recent years. pthreads and user threads.<BR>
Infinite loops with TRY in January 2011 would use infinite stack. Understood.<BR>
Finite loops would merely use more than they should and reclaim upon function return.<BR>
cvsupd didn't work for a while with pthreads. Because of its use of "fork and do more work" and its assumption<BR>
that all threads survive fork. Relatively few programs do that and they were all broken by pthreads.<BR>
<BR>
The new thread tester probably needs more attention.<BR>

But I do note that AMD64_LINUX with pthreads used to run just fine. I ran a bunch or stress tests when first ported to that target and all seemed good.
