Bug#410899: Regarding debian bug 410899

[Ron <ron@debian.org>]

Hi,

I've received the following report from another user who seems to have
discovered this issue.  I can confirm that with libc6 2.7-13 this does
seem to be more difficult to reproduce.  Creating many threads in a
tight loop can still hit it within a second or two, but I also can only
reproduce that if the test code is linked with -static.

So this now seems to be almost fixed, but not quite in every path ...
