Well, not creative but some fuzzing can be helpful.
Here is a version which should be helpful to trigger
the bug under varying conditions. With the "seed"
from time(0) I'm getting errors in one of 5..10 tries.

If people try this in their systems we can collect
a list of working seed values which we can put into
a regression test then.
(The bug is fixed in pthread.c rev. 1.109, so the
test systems must be from before that change.)

best regards
Matthias
