Most of those problems vanished when LinuxThreads was supplanted by NPTL, thank goodness. The largest remaining ones consist of problems caused by glibc's insistence on synthesising its own TID rather than just handing up the kernel's, causing trouble talking to kernel interfaces that expect the real TID.
