I am looking for some help from anybody who uses JDK, wine, or
linuxthreads. In the past these packages have suffered from
occasional random crashes caused by re-entrancy problems in the
dynamic linker. I believe I have solved these problems in a commit
today:

I'd appreciate it if you would update to the latest version of
"src/libexec/rtld-elf", build it, install it, and exercise some JDK,
wine, or linuxthreads applications. Then let me know whether you see
any strange problems. Even if you don't see problems I'd like to
know.
You can install the new dynamic linker without doing a full make
world. Just cd to "src/libexec/rtld-elf" and do this:
make obj
make depend
make all
make install
This will also work on 4-stable systems (using -current's sources
for rtld-elf).
Later on if you want to revert to the older dynamic linker again,
you can find it in "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1.old".
Thanks,
John
