(Get the code!)

Paul,
Many thanks for spearheading the effort. I think the idea is a good enhancement, but we need to communicate with the distros about this class of change and get consensus. By getting input from the distros we might find out that there are other problems with our solution. I don't see any, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.
I suggest an email to libc-alpha summarizing the issue, current state of glibc trunk, and CC the glibc distro contacts and see what they have to say. After a comment period we'll be ready to implement a solution. If you feel like being thorough you can provide the reworked patch based on changes to nptl/nptl-init.c along with that summarizing email.
Thank you again for working through this process.
