At least on FreeBSD 5, the problems with libthr aren't just limited to KDE 
(which really doesn't use threads all that much - Qt has limited support for 
threads, KDE has even less and actual multithreaded KDE programs are few and 
far between) - running the base-system BIND as a local DNS cache for more 
than an hour or so with a global mapping from libpthread to libthr active is 
usually enough to expose the problem (i.e. name resolution will stop 
working).
