Lock-up while building mod_perl

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

I backported linuxthreads-0.7 (part of glibc) to glibc 1.99 and submitted a
patch to Gary for inclusion into glibc 1.99 which he did in the form of
version 1p.  Unfortunately, linuxthreads-0.7 has some problems with the
sparse array structures used to store thread-specific data (I found this
when testing with JDK 1.2 native threads).  I have a fix, but I want to do
some more testing before releasing it.  The best solution right now for
programs that work with linuxthreads (native threads) like the JDK, MySQL
and probably mod-perl is to drop back to glibc (1o) with liuxthreds 0.5 for
now.  I will try and track down and fix all of the problems with
linuxthreads 0.7 and ppc and get a new threads update patch ready for glibc
1q or later.

Sorry about that, the fault was mine.

Kevin
