Subject: Fix pthread_create test for AIX. AIX deviates from POSIX in that threads
X-Git-Tag: LDBM_PRE_GIANT_RWLOCK~3040
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ce83ce54f7b22eb60bf89d51a22963baeea1e6a;p=openldap

Fix pthread_create test for AIX. AIX deviates from POSIX in that threads
are created detached by default. We need to set the thread attributes in
advance, otherwise pthread_detach will fail.
