If you stop and think about it for a second, the principal reason mutexes, condvars etc were invented was to synchronise the operation of separate threads competing for access to a common memory space. So, it would be pointless having a mutex that was not thread safe. In the Unix world at least these synchronisation primitives are all defined in the _pthread_ library. Jim
