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.
