Hi all,

   I'm writing a binding to a shared library written in c. Part
of the API specification allows for a call back procedure
to called later when some event occurs.

   The call back is in a thread created by the shared library,
and this causes a segmentation fault if I try to do anything
'significant' in the Ada code (even a simple Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line is
problematic). If I just copy the
call back procedure parameter data to a package
level variable all is okay.

   Is there any way to let the Ada know and/or be 'happy' with code
being invoked in a non Ada thread?

BtW using Linux Red Hat 9 and RH Enterprise 3.0

Cheers
