 You're going to need to provide more information than that.
 We have many multithreaded programs using libpthread, so
 the How-To-Repeat isn't very helpful.
 
 There were also bugs in 5.3-release that have been fixed since,
 so you can also try updating to -stable or -current.
 Also, if you are using nvidia provided drivers, they are
 not thread-safe with libpthread.
