I just asked the question on the OBSD misc list. If OBSD's threads lib is the problem then we need to create some traffic *there* to be heard and not here on the Zope list. So please join the thread on misc and we might get a fix sooner. Ragnar

There are many people who would like to be able to run threaded apps period ... d@ is the maintainer of the threads library and AFAIK he's looking into fixing these issues but there is no ETA for patch(s).

Are there any plans for patches that fixes this to come out?

There are many ppl out there that are ancious to run Zope on OBSD 2.8!

Unfortunately, it's true. Changes were made to allow some other archs (sparc, powerpc) to work quite a bit more than they did before but this also brought a few stability issues into the fold on i386 ... 2.7's threads were problematic too under certain conditions ... just you havent run into any so far.

Are there any news about Zope running on OBSD 2.8?

Some ppl in the Zope mailling list says that OBSD 2.8 has a buggy threads libs since 2.7 and previous works fine, is that true?
