The only way of fixing it for good is basically to make pthreads mandatory -
like integrate it into libc and always do full grown locking. This would need
lots of carefull benchmarks (even on a VAX), and I have a gut feeling to know
the results already.

No.

Yes, and I thought it was - but can't find it right now.
