Re: Pfork() question/problem

well, no need really. To be honest my code test was just a test to see
if it would work. 
So, in this respect I only use printf() with an incremental loop. from
0 to 500 and another loop at the same time (other thread) from 800 to
0. so no aes call. and the only really is the evnt_timer() in the
first loop to see how it would react. Obviously, not very good ;)
Any other idea?
