RE: Successfully compiled 1.3.1 on AIX 5.2 /w Visual Age C++ 6.0 after some tweaking

[Ronald_Horrell]

Here is two more items:

Believe it or not but I needed to comment out HAVE_ATOMIC_AIX.  It was causing 
core dumps.   I also commented out HAVE_ALLOCA_H to get rid of warning messages 
about "pragma __alloca not defined" go figure?

Bad news: my app just core dumped on an old favorite "if (th->priv->_type == 
threadTypeDummy)":

Segmentation fault in ThreadDestructor(ost::Thread*) at line 1125 in file "" 
($t373)
could not read "thread.cpp"
(dbx) where
ThreadDestructor(ost::Thread*)(th = 0x3058d428), line 1125 in "thread.cpp"
ccxx_thread_destructor(void*)(arg = 0x3058d428), line 1131 in "thread.cpp"
pth_key._specific_data_cleanup(??) at 0xd0067420
pth_pthread.pthread_exit(??) at 0xd0058030
ThreadExecHandler(ost::Thread*)(th = 0x3058d428), line 1115 in "thread.cpp"
ccxx_exec_handler(ost::Thread*)(th = 0x3058d428), line 1136 in "thread.cpp"
pth_pthread._pthread_body(??) at 0xd0052588

I have a few ideas on how to fix this, let me experiment a little.

True...looks like the only other place its needed is in string.h.  Done.
