Comment 28 for bug 1391705

Well, it's nice to know that it is something that is 1) reproducible and
2) occurs on the latest and greatest sources. It's never any fun to
track down bugs that only exist in obsolete versions of things. Now, if
only I had a new Mac Pro on which to try this... Last I checked,
threaded builds worked fine on my vintage 2007 MacPro -- but the new
ones are quite different. I wouldn't be surprised if the critical
variable here is number of cores and somehow the 64/32 bit games we play
with mach ids runs afoul of some numbering conventions once we got over
a certain number of cores.
