libkse report (fwd)

[Julian Elischer]

Quite a positive report..
Maybe if the latest patches are checked in, it may even do better.

KNode works and it seems the bug I had with libthr is gone. It has
other problems, however, which I never had before. For some reason
KNode thinks, after I've saved newly composed text to tempfile, that
external editor is still running and no text is transferred from
tempfile to KNode own editor window. KNode process remains in memory
after closing, taking some 24MB of memory. Mozilla and Phoenix will
not start up any window, they're show up in top listing, take usual
amount of memory and are not killable by TERM signal, only SIGKILL.
But overall, libpthread (libkse) is in better shape than I thought.
The fact that KDE got up and KNode is usable, is quite a wonder.
