  Hi,

 I'm hunting some race condition in my plugins which produce a segfault in libc or libavahi (still searching the right
packages with debug symbols, race condition may be related to having to dbus-mainloops in dbus2vdr and avahi4vdr, but I
don't know yet).
 While investigating this I found something about the option "-pthread" of g++.

 According to g++'s manpage this will set the right options for the preprocessor and compiler so the program can use the
pthreads lib. Especially it will set -D_REENTRANT and -lpthread etc.

 vdr seems only to use -lpthread and no other pthread-specific options.

 I'm not an expert on this topic, so I would like to know if someone can shed some light on this.
 Makefile may than be patched with:

==========

 Recompiled vdr and plugins do run as before (haven't solved my segfault).

 What do you think?

Lars.
