   I am told by someone who should know that there is a well-known
problem with threads in C++ on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE. The only solution
is to upgrade to the latest STABLE. The problem was with libstdc++,
which was statically linking in libc, when it should have gotten
libc_r in the threaded case.  STABLE now uses weak symbols to deal
with the problem.
