They get merged into the next mm round I reckon, Linus won't pull until
2.6.13 is out the doors.

I'm by no means a libc expert but how did you get infected with this
libc version? :). I was under the impression that TLS support wasn't
functional until NPTL was introduced in the 2.6.x era. To my knowledge
this could explain the TLS related crashes you were seeing. Any chance
of upgrading this libc of yours?

I could of course be totally wrong.
