Thread hangs on pthread_cond_wait()

[Frank Fock]

Helge,

An idle Thread of a ThreadPool will wait for its next task by calling
Synchronized::cond_timed_wait(0) (from Thread::wait()). So, this
situation is pretty normal! The threads are waiting for something to
do, it is no "hang situation".

Best regards,
Frank
