I tried, but the following is a surefire way to freeze my SMP box solid 
at the moment (with today's libthr):

	1. symlink libc_r to libthr
	2. portupgrade -f gnomepanel
	3. start gnome
	4. machine freezes solid while gnome splash screen shows

To resurrect:

	1. remove libthr symlink
	2. portupgrade -f gnomepanel
	3. start gnome, works fine

I could never reproduce the symptoms from a few days ago, where some 
pieces (i.e. gnomepanel) would not start giving an error message, but 
the rest of gnome came up, and the machine didn't freeze. (And "freeze" 
== ping fails and no panic showing on a serial console.)

Any ideas what else to try?
