Perhaps David Xu could clue me in a bit more :)

I just got around to reading the status report for FreeBSD and the 1:1 threading caught my eye.

I'm not terribly familiar with FreeBSD's KSE based threading but rather than adding a new system call [which may be ok... though I've worked on systems where a minimal set of system calls is the desired approach.. usually microkernels] would it be possible to add KSEs to a task using rfork()?

Maybe I've just been playing around with Plan 9 too much lately :)

Anyway, I like that there will be a 1:1 threading library and if I had more free time and wasn't working on other projects I'd be more than willing to help test and work on/with this.

Still, very very cool :)
