>Description:

Running the following test program (from pkgsrc/devel/glib2's configure) dumps
core on -current:

--8<--
#include <pthread.h>

int check_me = 0;

void* func(void* data) {check_me = 42; return &check_me;}

int main()
 { pthread_t t;
   void *ret;
   pthread_create (&t, 0, func, 0);
   pthread_join (t, &ret);
   exit (check_me != 42 || ret != &check_me);
}
-->8--

gdb shows the main thread in pthread_create and the new LWP in
pthread__sched_idle():
