Bug#479952: libc6: Also in x86_64?

[Will Murnane <will.murnane@gmail.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.9-21
Severity: normal

I wrote a program that uses pthreads to accomplish work, and hit this bug in it.  It works properly on Rhel5, so I'm pretty sure it's libc at fault.

Full source code available on request.  Basically, though, the problem comes when many threads are fighting for a mutex, and doing very little work between trying to obtain the lock.
