Pretty much all of the older ones, I imagine --- I know HPUX 9 does not.
Of course HPUX 9 will be a dead issue by the end of the year, because
HP isn't going to fix its Y2K bugs; I wonder whether there is a similar
forcing function for old SunOS and other systems?
But still, I believe there are several different flavors of thread
packages running around, so we will be opening a brand new can of
portability worms. We'd best keep a "no threads" fallback option...
