My bad. There are. This might be a problem in the Debian patches, as this 
specific
problem disappeared for me when fix_have_kernel_resources was the ONLY patch
I was applying against libpthread. I forgot about this issue because it 
disappeared for
me. That was three months ago.

On the subject of fix_have_kernel_resources: what further work can I do to get 
this
integrated? I can split the predicates. I can also go into a lengthy rant as to 
why, to
the best of my understanding, both resources are treated in an atomic manner, 
with
the exception of one instance (which I have commented on before).
I am not going to fix something that I don't see as broken without guidance.
