   The only thing I can think of is that I installed new versions of the
   glibc RPMs (and installed the glibc-debug rpm, which I hadn't had at
   all before, but that goes in a directory that isn't in my
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH).  So it could be a bug in them, I suppose.

It's very well possible I'm to blame for some of the problems you're
seeing (although not the thread-related ones I think).  I just
committed a patch which should fix it if I did indeed break things:
