It sure doesn't get far -- the test program never actually starts
doing anything pthreads-y at all!  When I 'setenv PTHREAD_DEBUGLOG t'
and run the debuglog program after the pthreads test on i386, I get:

Started debugging thread (pid 23762) at Mon Mar  7 19:06:11 2005

(pthread_create 0xbf000000) Created new thread 0xa8000000 (name pointer 0x0).

...while on the VAX, I only get the "Started..." line.  Likewise,
running with PTHREAD_DEBUGCOUNTERS set generates no output on the VAX,
but lots of counters listed on the i386.
