[PATCH] pthread_detach: add a comment about a known segfault bug.

[Aaron Jacobs]

Come on people, I'm trying to add a comment with a link. It is not
hard to accept the patch and revert it later. I too would love for the
bug to be fixed, but it's disingenuous to act as if adding a comment
makes that less likely.

We've already spent more energy arguing about this than it would take
to just accept the patch. You can't deflect the lack of progress on
the bug for the last several months (and years and years before that)
to my patch to a comment in the last few days, as if I'm somehow
causing the delay. It's just silly.

Great! Thank you for mansplaining how to Google to me, a Google employee.

You know what would be a quicker hit? If the known bug had been
documented in a comment in the source code that showed up the moment I
ran GDB on the segfault. And if the people on this mailing list would
welcome small, super straightforward improvements instead of turning
it into an arduous endeavor where a new contributor feels like they
have to justify their sin of… adding a comment to help the next
person.
