I don't have a reference (other than it has a .ps extension and is in the
technical papers section of the wuarchive.wustl.edu anonymous FTP site and
I have a copy in front of me), but you may want to check out:

The problem is not amenable to a general soloution. You may want to ask
Brown University for a copy of "Brown-Threads", and you may want to get a
copy of "sigsched" (check archie for it).
