MySQL and libpthread

[Mike Silbersack]

I haven't had time to fully track it down yet, but FYI I've found that
MySQL and libpthread don't seem to get along well for me; with sources
from april 12th and mysql 4.1 from ports, mysqld just seems to hang for
long periods of time, and is unkillable.  When I libmap it to libthr or
libc_r, all is well.

The test I was running was simply mysql's included benchmark suite, using
local socket connections to mysql.  If one of the libpthread developers
can not reproduce this behavior, I'll try more tests later in the week to
see if I can pin it down more.
