Hi,

I've committed a fix to FreeBSD-CURRENT for POSIX semaphores this morning.

Root cause analysis on the fork-mt issue points towards the rtld and
malloc in RELENG_7 not being able to deal with a mixture of fork and mt.

As a workaround, you may wish to try my patches against the FreeBSD port
to build with GNU Pth (until we can settle on resolution):-

thanks!
