Just to note: I came to these two patches as part of making a
preliminary Debian package of spiped-1.6.1a and trying to figure out why
the pushbits test was failing. It turns out that at least on Debian
testing the pthread_cancel() function doesn't play very nice with
threads that have already terminated - it returns ESRCH (no such
thread/process). For the moment I won't bother you with this, I'll keep
the "|| rc == ESRCH" as a local Debian patch, since I'm not entirely
sure whether this is standards-compliant or even documented, since
the pthread_cancel() manual page only documents ESRCH for an invalid
thread ID and, before the thread has been joined, its ID should still be
very much valid. Just thought I'd mention that here if anybody else is
having problems with spiped-1.6.1a under Linux.
G'luck,
Peter
