>Description:
    My Application is in Freebsd 7.3, has two threads. use -pthread options to gcc(gcc 4.2.1). the Threads's breif flow as bellow:
 
    Thread A: is the main thread which deal with the connections, accept connection, read connection and make a request to push into a queue.
 
    Thread B: is the work thread which wait for request from the queue, and deal with it. when dealing with the request, sometimes will open a file to write some data. I use system call open() to open file and write(), mostly, both of threads work well. but sometimes write() is failed and the errno is 9. If I migrate the open() operation to the main thread A, never open() in the Thread B, the failure is disappear.
 
    So, I doubt that some system call , such as accep(), open(), fopen() which operate the File Descriptor are 
not thread safe. Is this True ?
