I have committed some changes to libthr today. All but one of them were bug

I'll try to get a dump of the exact error messages when I have access to the box again in a few days.

Please.

I tried, but the following is a surefire way to freeze my SMP box solid at the moment (with today's libthr):

        1. symlink libc_r to libthr
        2. portupgrade -f gnomepanel
        3. start gnome
        4. machine freezes solid while gnome splash screen shows

To resurrect:

        1. remove libthr symlink
        2. portupgrade -f gnomepanel
        3. start gnome, works fine

I could never reproduce the symptoms from a few days ago, where some pieces (i.e. gnomepanel) would not start giving an error message, but the rest of gnome came up, and the machine didn't freeze. (And "freeze" == ping fails and no panic showing on a serial console.)

Any ideas what else to try?
