As far as my experience shows linuxthreads has issues with mutexes on an SMP
machine (at least when running on FreeBSD). 

I actually tried -lkse on a machine with kernel about two weeks old, 
so far I have not been able to reach the machine since ...

Will try again on more local box, because it does not seem to crash to console
debugger but just plain out "die".
