Hi,

I just contributed a patch to ACE which I believe fixes
the Proactor_Test under FreeBSD.  The Proactor_Test seems
to *only* work with with KSE, i.e. I specified that libkse
should be used in my /etc/libmap.conf.

If anyone is interested in trying this out, you can check out
the head of the ACE CVS repository by doing:

(0) Make sure that /etc/libmap.conf is configured to use libkse
(1) cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.ociweb.com:/cvs login
(2) (just press <Enter> when prompted for password)
(3) cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.ociweb.com:/cvs co ACE
(4) Set the environment ACE_ROOT environment variable to the root 
    directory of where all the ACE files get extracted to
(5) Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $ACE_ROOT/ace
(6) Create a file $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h with one line:
    #include "ace/config-freebsd.h"
(7) Create a file $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU with one line:
    include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_freebsd.GNU


(8) cd $ACE_ROOT; gmake
(9) cd $ACE_ROOT/tests ; run_tests.pl


What is the status of KSE + signals?  Signals seem to make a big difference
with the ACE Proactor.  The Proactor_Test seems to work with libkse,
but not libc_r, and I think it is due to signals.

Thanks.
