I don't want to have to set any more environment variables or login defaults to get libpthread to work with certain ports. Even if it were added, you'd have to do it to all thread libraries in all branches in order for ports to remove stacksize related patches. I thought I had increased default stack sizes, but I see that I haven't yet. -- DE
