To follow your post up, you could either:
- add protection for EINTR using the do {} while() construct I gave
earlier. This should be added to *every* system call.
- if you are using glibc, then #define _GNU_SOURCE in allegro.h and
I think that will fix it.
Also, EAGAIN only occurs when you try to fork/create a thread but there
are not enough processes left, or when you a trying to perform a
blocking operation on a non-blocking file descriptor. I don't know that
we need EAGAIN protection, but I suppose it could be useful in the
pthreads driver.
Bye for now,
