The crash is intentional; the alternative is to have things break in
more subtle ways, such as not having mutexes protecting stdio or malloc.

I'm trying to figure out why this seems to be so much more of a
problem for us, when as far as I know dynamically loading libpthread
only works on AIX. Is it just that we're complaining about the failure
rather than just letting things break strangely?
