Re: lots of applications dump core: pthread_mutex_lock



For the record, here's a simple test app to reproduce the crash:

  http://www.netbsd.org/~jmcneill/pthread.cpp

Compile with g++ and it crashes, compile with gcc and it doesn't.

OK, the problem is understood. It seems like this only ever worked by

nothing cared about. I'm analyzing the options for fixes now.
