OK, this is good news.  I put a lot of time in patching up ACE
to work on FreeBSD, and some of my work also involved submitting
patches to FreeBSD.  I am glad that

Now, earlier in this e-mail thread someone mentioned that certain ACE tests
were failing.  Do these tests fail now with ACE 5.3.1?

FreeBSD lacks POSIX real-time signals, which was very troublesome
when I was trying to get the ACE Proactor to work properly, because
the Proactor uses POSIX AIO + POSIX RT signals.  I would really
like to see POSIX RT signals on FreeBSD.

However, since this is a threads mailing list, I assume you
are more interested in the ACE threads tests passing with KSE.
Are there any problems there?

I am also very interested in how KSE thread priorities work, because
thread priorities are used in the TAO Real-time CORBA ORB, which is
built on top of ACE.
