threading issues

[Matt Hamilton]

All,
   I am still trying to work out why pthread support on AMD64 appears 
broken.  (See message on -current 3/10/2004 "Re: 5.3-BETA5 AMD64 Python 
problems").

I was looking in CVS, and saw a test suite in /usr/src/libpthread/test. 
  In running Make I get:

...compile stuff...
Test static library:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test                                      c_user c_system c_total     chng
  passed/FAILED                            h_user h_system h_total   % chng
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello_d                                     0.00     0.00    0.00
  passed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello_s                                     0.00     0.01    0.01
  passed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
join_leak_d                                 0.04     0.00    0.04
  *** FAILED ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mutex_d                                 ^C

it just hangs on mutex_d and I had to manually abort it.  Does this work 
on i386 systems?  This is an AMD Opteron (HP DL145) running BETA7 as 
compiled from -current at the weekend.
