On OpenVMS Alpha, system calls are now cancellation points for threads created using the POSIX 1004.1c interface. System calls are not cancellation points for threads created using the cma or draft 4 POSIX 1003.4a interface. None of the system calls should be called with asynchronous cancellation enabled. For more information, see Section 2.6.
