Tough noogies, as it were. See
it'll bother me later but for now it doesn't :)
there is some code in FreeDCE which expects to be able to jump out of a cancellation handler
Then FreeDCE should be fixed to be POSIX-compliant, I think. Or is there something subtle going on here?
the behaviour of LinuxThreads is different from NPTL.
therefore, given that this cancellation thing matters for dce applications (the runtime relies on it being possible) i thought you might wish to be aware of this subtle difference in case Wine MSRPC or other applications also rely on it.
that's all - nothing more.
