The patch in <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/
?func=detail&aid=960406&group_id=5470&atid=305470> is 
probably a better change to consider rather than the LinuxThreads 
specific workarounds of 948614 or the false synchronous/
asynchronous dichotomy of 949332. (948614 was just looking at 
things in terms of LinuxThreads specific quirks, and when 
comments started popping up about similar problems in HP/UX 
and others it became apparent that a more general approach was 
needed. 949332 was a hope that a minimally intrusive variation 
might get be more palatable for 2.3.4, but I can perfectly 
understand your reluctance.)

The new patch, 960406, seems to solve the problems Jason Lowe 
reported in <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/
index.php?func=detail&aid=468347&group_id=5470&atid=305470> 
(at least with my testing under Linux, Solaris, Irix, HP/UX, and 
True64 Unix) but does not exhibit the problems described here.
