    All,

    This is kind of an unconventional call for help. As we approach the
    release of 5.2, we'd really like to show off the performance and
    stability of our new threading packages. So, I'm looking for people
    to volunteer to go out and put some of the thread-capable enterprise
    and desktop packages to the test. Packages that I would most like
    to see are:

    Apache 2
    BIND 9
    OpenOffice
    Mozilla
    KDE desktop + Konq
    Java 1.3/1.4 + Tomcat/etc
    MySQL
    Others?

    The questions that I would like to have answered are:

    Does it take advantage of pthreads
    Does it work with libkse and libthr
    Does it operate correctly
    Does it perform better/worse than with libc_r
    Does it perform better/worse than under FreeBSD 4.x

    Thanks!

    Scott
