  Bug#28690 mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.0.40-linux-i686-glibc won't start on Debian Sarge
   - Only use the "hack for bug in NTPL" if using NTPL, by dynamically
     checking the thd_lib_detected flag

  mysys/my_thr_init.c@stripped, 2007-06-05 17:34:49+02:00, msvensson@pilot.(none) +3 -0
    Only start the "dummy thread hack for bug in NPTL" - if using NPTL.
    If the system uses LinuxThreads it's not needed, it actually causes 
    the "pthread manager" to be started as root and thus all subsequent
    threads will also run as root although mysqld drops root privileges, 
    this in turns causes mysqld to deadlock since the mysqlds main thread
    running as <user> can't send signals to a process owned by root.

# This is a BitKeeper patch.  What follows are the unified diffs for the
# set of deltas contained in the patch.  The rest of the patch, the part
# that BitKeeper cares about, is below these diffs.
