Hi,

That was exactly the one I was looking for, it is where Linus
goes on to describe pthreads as being:

The pthreads approach never got to a real framework for threads as 
real entities. To pthreads, a thread is a braindamaged stepchild of a 
process, and cannot do anything on its own. It's this drooling messy
thing 
that has no life without the parent process that wipes up after it. 
It has no spine.

Thanks,

Mark
