blocking thread



Hi all,

sorry but I have to bother you with an other question:

I have a thread that is not periodic, and to which I assign no schedule
param (NULL passed inst. of 'attr'). In the thread there is a while loop
continuously testing a volatile variable ( code : 'while(my_wait);' )
Why does the whole system hang in this while loop, and not just this
thread? This is definitely not my intention.

Thanks again,
Alain.
