Hmm. That does seem like a pretty strong "disproof". I wonder if my hypothesis is wrong in general, or if this particular library does in fact have other requirements (thread-local storage or such) (and in this case whether my other assumption was wrong and this is actually the usual case), or if there's something else we're missing.
I don't know about the general case, but OS X does treat the main thread specially here; the (native, not X11) framework sets up the connection to Core Graphics in the main thread before invoking the main program, so you can't make whatever it is (thread local storage seems likely) happen in a different thread. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
