Signal handling on windows .. its a big joke .. SIGALRM ..huh! i still remember my experience with it. Somewhere singals are not platform independent .. on windows use thread + win32api and for Posix use thread + std. signals .. thats how i resolved my problem.

They might be light and easy, but when you mix in signal handling, 'sane' seems to go right out the window.

I have a similar program in a chat program I created in python. I am using the medium level "threading" module to create server connection accepting threads but I can't exit them when they finish their thing, they stack up and the receiving chat program hangs. Sometimes after just one message! (I know, not the cleanest code ever).

Do you think you could email that C program/source to me? Or at least some other info on exiting threads? My address is:
