>Description:
Programs die repeatedly with the following error:

assertion "PTQ_LAST(&pthread__runqueue, pthread_queue_t) != qhead" failed: file "/usr/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_run.c", line 258, function "pthread__sched_bulk"

MozillaFirebird seems easy to provoke into this, though it sometimes
takes a few hours to happen. I can't correlate the incidents with any
particular sort of activity on the machine at the time.

I've set the category to "kern" instead of "lib" because the pthreads
subsystem involves the kernel, but I might be wrong and this might be
entirely a library issue.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run MozillaFirebird for a while, note the repeated crashes.
>Fix:
I have no clue.
