Description Need Real Name 2000-07-25 03:40:27 UTC
see this program:
when the pthread_cond_timedwait() in notify_f() return by timeout, the 
following notify pthread_cond_broadcast() can't awake the pthread_cond_wait
() in wait_f().
if call the notify_f() in a child thread just like the commented, not call 
it in the main process, then it will run rightly.
is this a bug? i wish to get help soon.
