I just compiled and ran a pthreads program on Cygwin,
so perhaps they have progressed since last time you checked.
Which documented security holes are you referring to?
Interix costs money, so it's a bit moot; I use Cygwin because
I don't have to fill out a purchase order and have my boss
approve it. I don't have a huge business reason to use it;
I just prefer bash sometimes. Gets me that nice tab
completion feature missing in win2k.

Neither interix or cygwin support pthreads to my knowledge. I
personally
would use interix in preference to cygwin as it has fewer documented
security holes...
There used to be a project which was implementing pthreads as a layer on
top of NT threads, but I can't remember where it was. Checking google
says:
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
Note that it isn't perfect, but might be good enough for your
purposes...
