This is not a proxy-suite message. Check your other proxies.

It seems, a program trys to start a thread and gets an error
in some function, but it doesn't check the errno value if it
is EINTR or not.

For example - using read, it should be something like:

    do {
        cnt = read(fd, buf, siz);
    } while(-1 == cnt && EINTR == errno);
    if(-1 == cnt) {
        ==> handle error
    }

Instead of just a:

    cnt = read(fd, buf, siz);
    if(-1 == cnt) {
        ==> handle error
    }
