Subject:   daemon threads bug with libpthread

If you create a thread before calling daemon then the next thread you
create after the daemon call will cause the following error from the
libpthread library.

Fatal error 'mutex is on list' at line 516 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 0)

This error does not occur if you link with -lc_r, linking with -lthr
causes a core dump. -lthr does not look very stable.

Here is some test code. I am running FreeBSD 5.3-beta

Please reply directly as I am not on the mailing list

Thanks
