2162.0. "strerror threadsafe?" by CSC32::J_HENSON (Don't get even, get ahead!) Thu Apr 24 1997 16:10

dec c v5.2-003, ovms v7.1, alpha, ucx

Has anyone seen any problems with errno or strerror not being totally 
thread safe?  I have a customer who is getting occassional
'connection refused' errors from a call to socket, which doesn't
make sense.

He is running in a multi-threaded process, and was wondering if perhaps
strerror is getting confused.

I have suggested that he call decc$set_reentracy, even though it is
my understanding that it should not be necessary.

I am also asking about this in the ucx notes conference.

Thanks,

Jerry

Duane,

	Thanks for the update.  The note I posted in lassie::ucx is
	5466.  So far, there are not replies.

	I will ask the customer for a small reproducer.

Jerry
