I'm positive that since not a single shared object is using libc_r nor any application - I actually ran the find on all files after the email instead of just "*.so*" - adding a map of libc_r to libthread.so.1 would be a noop for me. > > I can corroborate what Sean is saying.

Last I knew, libpthread was working > on amd64 with mozilla & kde. That I cannot tell you. I bought my amd64 about a week ago and it hasn't worked with kse. I've only managed to get everything converted about 3 days ago, so I don't have much history. I would prefer not reverting to a release to test, but that is an option if no other means of tracking down the problem presents itself. Sean
