You should be able to replicate the results of your test in Java and even Perl using processes. The issues aren't language-dependent.
I get different results in Perl. For example if I do two threads, each with a loop printing out the numbers 1-100 (or even 1,000) in Perl, the output is interspersed. Thread 1 prints one or more, Thread 2 prints one or more and so on. If I do it in C++, Thread 1 prints them all, then Thread 2 prints them all. That's what I mean by it being different at this level. The Perl interpreter is handling switching between the different Perl threads. Hal
