Thanks. That seemed to do the trick. I'm going to get all the latest 
files from the CVS, seems like a generally good idea.

In the meantime, however: I run the test and see that the thread test is

(Note: I _think_ I am using libc5. I didn't set up the system, and I 
don't know how to tell which version I have. Suggestions?)
