No specific feature - just the general ability to handle threads doing
things.  It has a slightly different behavior pattern than the other
threads testscases, and triggered different problems.  Oh, and I
remember - there is no other testcase in the testsuite with
pthread_join in it; no threads ever actually exit.  I found some
problems there while I was implementing the gdbserver threads support.
