The stack trace you got is totally bogus, but the problem is real.  This 
crash is due to recent changes in malloc that use TLS for 
thread-specific caching.  The problem is that malloc is being used after 
a thread has effectively exited.

The call to _malloc_thread_cleanup() in _pthread_exit() I added at 
/usr/src/lib/libthr/thread/thr_exit.c:100 is too early in the case that 
_thread_active_threads is decremented to 0 below.  I don't know off the 
top of my head what the best fix is (i.e. where the 
_malloc_thread_cleanup() call is really safe); perhaps David Xu has a 
suggestion.

Thanks,
