How are you intending to sort that one out? Presumably it's rather hard
to override the glibc internals.

By the way, at some point it'd be nice if you could do a brain dump of
how Wines threading really works in both NPTL and pre-NPTL cases, how
the pthread wrappers work, this TLS business and what prevents Wine from
being used as a library. I've got a vague idea of all this stuff but
it's just from piecing together bits and bobs from the mailing list -
it'd be nice to have a decent explanation of it all that others could
learn from.
