Hi Rene,

Thank you for pointing out that discussion. It does seem to be a
similar situation, though in our case we are using the _standard_
gcc-2.96 compiler (standard according to RedHat, anyway, and
there is a binary ROOT distribution for it) and not gcc 3.0.2
that Joern was using. We haven't seen any other issues with
gcc2.96. I'll look into using a later version (3.2?).

If I understand the previous discussion correctly, the problem 
was fixed by running a TApplication, which root (in the way of 
TRint) does do. So, that cannot not be the issue in this case.

Opening this up to others, if you are running using gcc-2.96 and 
have working TThread's, could you send your configuration 
information? (glibc, hardware, distribution, etc)

Thanks,
Rob
