Re: boehm-gc: 'cant fork daemon' on Solaris2.7?

[Hans Boehm <Hans dot Boehm at hp dot com>]

I don't recall seeing this before.  A thr_create call failed.  It was
trying to start a daemon that's used to handle joins as part of the GC's
support for Solaris threads. A system call trace might tell you a little
more.

Currently Solaris thread support is completely different from pthread
support on other platforms.  That has some performance advantages there,
but it also means that parallel collection and thread-local allocation
don't currently work, and parallel collection can't work with the current
scheme.  I would prefer to see the code merged.
