Not sure.. where do I check for that?

In any case, pthread_self() is also returning the wrong value
(presumably for the same reason).

Unfortunately I haven't come up with a small test case yet.

Could it be related to this bug?

I ran the test program (on 4.9) and it seemed to work properly.. ?

Thanks,
