I need something which crashes to verify your suggestion does work. If it
doesn't crashes, how can I tell it makes a difference? In meetings
with linker/dynamic linker people from Sun, they have mentioned
what they had to do to get the multithreaded applications to work. I
had an impression that everything was done in the dynamic linker under
Solaris. Ulrich, do you remember what Bill and Michael said about how
Solaris initialized libpthread first? I think they use some hooks in
libc.so and ld.so for it.
