Digging a little bit I found the application hangs at pthread_mutex_lock and similar calls. Tried with various kernel versions over the last couple of months, never worked. Known issue ?

fwiw, what i've seen elsewhere is that on palinux, you have to make sure
the mutex is initialized before locking works. on other platforms
sometimes you can get away with doing a lock without a mutex init.

for another example see http://bugs.debian.org/124307
