If this isn't the correct list for this question please flame away,
but I didn't know who would be best to contact about this at mandrake.

I'm wondering what Mandrake 6.1 has done to libpthread-0.8.so. The
RedHat 6.0 lib is 235,419 bytes and the Mandrake 6.1 lib is only
79,218. Whoa! I've tried it here, and it has helped greatly reduce the
SIGSEGVs (w/o JIT) and hangs (w/ JIT) on Mandrake 6.1. However, I
agree "Use at your own risk."

ATM, IBM is recommending people rm the pthread lib that came with
Mandrake 6.1 and put the RH 6.1 pthread library in its place.
Questions.
1. Why the size diff in the 2 libs?
2. Are you aware of the diff?
Which is the best address for inquiries like this about Mandrake?
If I haven't given you enough info to be useful please let me know,
and I will get what ever info you need.
Thanks
