Can anyone tell me if NetBSD supports POSIX threads? If so does this support 
extend into the kernal?

The reason I ask is that I would like to try running Dartmouth's "BlitzMail" 
with *BSD, but it requires either NextStep's "cthreads" or POSIX "pthreads" in 
order to operate. Has anyone done this already?
