I went through (some time ago now) the syscalls that a --enable-syscall-hard 
pth overrides to make it work with NetBSD so I believe the message is 
incorrect.

The test fails because it assumes that it isn't prempted. With 
--enable-syscall-hard this is no longer true.

I really don't see the point.
