libthr, libpthread problems

Hi,

currently I'm testing Mpd-4 on -current and It ran into deadlock, 
therefore I changed the lib mapping via libmap.conf. When using libc_r 
everything is ok, when using libpthread a deadlock occurs under some 
circumstances, when using libthr, then:

any ideas, is this a bug in the application itself or libthr specific?

If I'm using libpthread, then it works, but sometimes Mpd gets 
deadlocked (after terminating a thread and acquiring Mpd's internal
"giant mutex").

elvis:/home/mbretter/mpd/src# ps -p 7558 -H
   PID  TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
  7558  p0  SL     0:00.12 ./mpd
  7558  p0  SL     0:00.12 ./mpd
  7558  p0  SL     0:00.12 ./mpd

and state of the process is "kserel".

When Using libc_r everything works fine.

I also tried to attach gdb to the running process (when Mpd was 
deadlocked), but this didn't worked, gdb als gets locked then.

The machine has installed a -current dated of yesterday, using a non-smp 
kernel.

bye,
