What happens if you use libmap to point pthreads at libc_r using 
/etc/libmap.conf?

You'll need something like this:

[/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/] 
libpthread.so.1         libc_r.so.5
libpthread.so           libc_r.so

I've seen basically the same behaviour with Java. See:

 	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=threads/84778

Things that are utterly broken with libpthread (kse) often will work just 
fine with libc_r.

But of course there are no bugs in libpthread and KSE works 
flawlessly.</sarcasm>
