Import unproven-pthreads, the mit-pthreads based cleanup I'm hacking on.
Why am I using MIT-Pthreads? Because all the alternatives seem to have very low level problems. PTL2 has a locking problem of some sort that I cannot track down, and the author insists that lock = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INIT; is always to be legal, so he uses a pointer for locks. This means pthread_lock() can break in out of memory situations, and therefore so can pthread_once(), and if you're using that to protect logging, and you need to report a memory depletion, you're screwed. --Michael
