All my amd64 problems appear to be KSE

I can corroborate what Sean is saying. There is definitely something wrong
with KSE on amd64 (I haven't tried it on i386.) I've been chasing it down,
on-and-off, for about a month, but have come up with nothing so far.
gnome-terminal and xmms are two examples of applications that have gone
from unusable to usable after changing from libpthread to libc_r. Mozilla
may also be affected, but I'm less sure of that. The applications in
question just mysteriously vanish, sometimes with signal 10 or 11, sometimes
with no signal in the kernel log at all.
