Hello! When linking the pthread tests against a libpthread built (with Samuel's TLS patches) from CVS HEAD (or any of the Viengoos branches, for that matter) I always get this:
$ ./test-1
test-1: ../../HEAD/libpthread/sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/pt-setup.c:103:
__pthread_setup: Unexpected error: (ipc/send) invalid destination
port.
Aborted
$ ./test-1-static
test-1-static:
../../HEAD/libpthread/sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/pt-setup.c:103:
__pthread_setup: Unexpected error: (ipc/send) invalid destination
port.
Aborted
I tracked this down to the 2008-08-16 __pthread_free_threads change --
apparently nobody ever tried to use the CVS HEAD libpthread since then?
(We absolutely need to come up with better automated testing methods...)
The pthread library was now trying to reuse kernel threads that have been
invalidated before. I created the attached patch to get that fixed again
(plus the malloc to calloc patch needed for CVS HEAD). Neal, is this
approach correct? I have stolen the thread_suspend thing from Viengoos
-- is that correct for Mach as well? (And the while (1) loop is
superfluous for all variants, isn't it?) At least, this way all of the
libpthread test suite programs complete to satisfaction, both dynamically
and statically linked.

PS: Please, don't install patches into the CVS repositories at the
moment, due to the CVS to git migration.
PPS: While digging through the libpthread code I wondered whether for the
Hurd servers cthreads to pthread migration PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX being
defined to 64 might be too small for some heavily multi-threaded Hurd
servers?
PPPS: Happy easter!
