Ah, sorry that somebody actually pointed that at you. This is a bug in hurd's libpthread and has nothing to do with graphviz doing anything bad. > Google appears to be telling me this error is some sort of a conflict > between cthreads and pthreads, but all the references I can find are > quite old - typically around 2005, so I'm not sure if this information > is still accurate. graphviz uses -pthreads when linking, so perhaps the > problem is that one of it's dependencies doesn't? In my memory, we had found out that this can happen when an application dlopen()s a library (e.g. a plugin) which depends on libpthread, i.e. dynamically loads libpthread after libc initialization, which the current hurd libpthread is not ready for. One workaround is to link the application itself with -pthread, but we really need to fix it more generally, as quite a few packages have the same issue.
