I didn't close the bug (if it is a bug). I only have time and resources
to track and run -current. And since it works on -current, and the
thread libraries are the same between -current and -stable, I can only
assume there is nothing to backport anyways, at least with regard to
libpthread (the library). Obviously the kernels vary somewhat.
