    Hi All,

    The current->pid of the task_struct does not tall with the getpid()
    for pthread_create() call.

    For ex. below the getpid() in myfunc() does not tally with the
    pid in the current task_struct for linux redhat 9.
    It is one more that the in thread func.
    ex. if getpid() below return 100 than the current->pid of the
    task_struct (sched.) has a value of 101.
    If this is the case than how do I get the actual thread
    pid from the task_struc in ther kernel.

    TIA
    basithsalman@mindspring.com
    main()
    {
        ...
       pthread_create(tid, myfunc, ..);
    }

    myfunc()
    {
        getpid();
    }
