Hmmm...using dllhelpers-0.2.6 (pre-auto-import) and dllhelpers-0.2.9 (post-) and running gdb on the test executables should answer that question. I'll try to run that simple test later this week if nobody beats me to it... --Chuck egor duda wrote: > Hi! > > Monday, 14 January, 2002 Jonathan Kamens jik AT curl DOT com wrote: > > JK> OK, so I tried reconfiguring without --enable-threadsafe and > JK> --enable-extra-threadsafe-checking.
