I'm sorry, but it not true that the kernel panics are the only pthread
problem(s).  Mozilla dies with failed assertions in libpthread quite
often for me.  And these are not locks that are mishandled.  It's things
like
assertion "PTQ_LAST(&pthread__runqueue, pthread_queue_t) != qhead" 
failed: file "/usr/SRC/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_run.c", line 237, 
function "pthread__sched_bulk"
