I don't know the details to this particular case (it's Christoph's
package), but in case it helps: we use the same syscall ABI as FreeBSD
[1]. Our pthread library however, is based on rfork() (move to thr()
is planned).  It is very different from the two implementations of
userland-side threading in FreeBSD (KSE is one of them, right?).

[1] barring a few cases in which we were forced to diverge, but has
gotten a lot better lately since some of those patches were merged in
9-CURRENT.
