Hi,

Zoltan could you please explain how the mono/mono/support/*.c code
should execute native blocking calls so that the runtime can shutdown
correctly? Do I guess correctly that read, write and other similar
calls will return with EINTR when the thread is aborted? How can a
thread know that it is being aborted and not just interrupted for
other reasons?
