Help with Timers on Solaris

[Anand Narwani]

Hello folks,
I am attmepting to do something that seems to be
reasonably simple but I cannot seem to make it work. 
Here is my configuration:
- Solaris 2.8
- Common C++2 1.03
- g++ 2.95.2

Essentially I am attempting to implement a Posix
Thread which goes to sleep for a specified period,
gets woken up, does some work and then goes back to
sleep.  Please take a look at the source at:

http://www.employees.org/~anarwani/thread-test.html

I have 2 problems:
1. My derived onTimer() routine never gets called when
the timer expires.
2.  I am unable to use the delete operator to force my
main thread to join with my thread.  it simply exits
the program.  I have since worked around the problem
using a semaphore.

I have tested this program on Linux and it works
correctly.  I suspect that the pthreads implementation
differences between the two operating systems are the
reason for the failure on Solaris, but I have no idea
how to fix this. Any assistance is very much
appreciated.

Regards,
Anand
