Well, those patches got backed out in-between, since they broke other
systems. I have a new set of patches that will go in as soon as the pkgsrc
freeze is over.

However, they are necessary, but not enough. There seems to be a kernel issue
involved that corrupts register contents after a syscall (this makes firefox
crash in libpthread since pthread___self() suddenly is NULL), but there also
are other crashes from various (pkgsrc) libraries used. The syscall-register 
issue needs to be solved first, it could cause (some of) the other crashes as
well.
