pthread_acquire() still having issues?

[Sean Chittenden]

I'd nearly call this Nagios FUD, but since I haven't seen anything
about this I thought I'd as for the record.  From the Known Issues
section on:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html

"There are a few known issues with the Nagios 2.0 code at the
moment. Hopefully some of these will be fixed before 2.0 is released
as stable...  FreeBSD and threads. On FreeBSD there's a native
user-level implementation of threads called 'pthread' and there's also
an optional ports collection 'linuxthreads' that uses kernel
hooks. Some folks from Yahoo! have reported that using the pthread
library causes Nagios to pause under heavy I/O load, causing some
service check results to be lost. Switching to linuxthreads seems to
help this problem, but not fix it. The lock happens in liblthread's
__pthread_acquire() - it can't ever acquire the spinlock. It happens
when the main thread forks to execute an active check. On the second
fork to create the grandchild, the grandchild is created by fork, but
never returns from liblthread's fork wrapper, because it's stuck in
__pthread_acquire(). Maybe some FreeBSD users can help out with this
problem."

I cruised through the lists and didn't see anything.  Has this been
addressed or is this still a current issue that folks are aware of?
