Btw: i just discovered that pthread mutexes and condvars can have a
"process shared" flag which makes it possiblo to synchronize threads

pthread_condvar_setpshared()
pthread_mutexattr_setpshared()
Or do i misread that manpage?

Oh i thought i read somewhere that when
pthread_cond_wait it is not
guaranteed that anyone actually signalled. Will do some more reading.
It can return on unix signals, so you have to test for EINTR.
I don't think it will wake up unexpectedly otherwise.
I'm thinking of rewriting the whole ITC object so it uses a
futex instead of the CV (that would also enable it to work
in shared memory across process boundaries), but then I really
need a lock free implementation for the linked lists.
I guess the required primitives are platform dependant.
Is their some library that provides them ?
