[Zope-dev] linux 2.5 threading issue

[seb bacon]

Hi all,

A heads-up for anyone using Red Hat.

I just upgraded my desktop to Red Hat 9, which includes a backport of
the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) from 2.5.

Unfortunately this appears to break (my) Zope (application).  The
symptom is a seemingly random blocking on a FUTEX_WAIT.  I don't have
time right now to find the cause; a workaround is to set
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 in the environment.
