What I was able to determine is that the pthread library that Winex wants to use from the glibc is the NPTL (Native Posix Thread Library) that is currently being developed at Redhat.
So Redhat is not using kernel threads after all. You can get NPTL here: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl/
So my take isn't that the glibc in SuSE is somewhat broken, it is that the glibc in Redhat is somewhat experimental and possibly buggy and instable.
OK, so they want you to use a non-standard library then turn around and call your distro broken if it doesn't use it- this make no sense. Charles -- We are MicroSoft. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. (Attributed to B.G., Gill Bates)
