Thanks, I'll take a look at it.  

I had a chance to grep through /usr/bin for 'pthread', and found 
that almost everything appears to implement pthreads.  Unfortunately,
grepping through /usr/sbin revealed that sshd (nor ssh from previous
search) does not implement pthreads.  I had hoped that a package like
OpenSSH, which has a solid reputation, would have been a good example.
Oh well, qmail doesn't appear to either...  Back to the books. *8v)

Perhaps apache or postfix?  I don't use either, so I'll have to d'l them
later...
