On my Linux box, with POSIX threads enabled, we pick up -D_REENTRANT
via the Boehm GC defines.

I assume this doesn't happen on DU 4.0?

I think we should define _REENTRANT when using POSIX threads.  Is that
ever the wrong thing to do?

There is s still a potentially losing situation where a platform has
the _r functions but we don't want to use POSIX threads.  I don't
think this is too important right now.
