This is great news! Thanks for all the great work.

Robert, The first "simple" testcase is gcc itself (configured with 
--enable-threads=posix), since gcc uses a very small subset of pthreads
functionality, and that's what I'm going to try as soon as I get a 
chance to update my local tree. For a now-(temporarily-)abondoned glibc 
port to win32, I used the testcases from pthreads-win32 project [1],
and some from the GNU Pth project [2] (I don't remember what my success 
rate was, only that it wasn't that high).

[2] http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html

Mumit

ps: The Reply-To is set to cygwin-apps; isn't this more appropriate for
cygwin-dev list? I'm pruning cygwin-xfree.
