How could I forget :) Instead of failing the reference to pthread mutex stuff at link time, those morons at Sun let you pick up broken pthread_mutex support if you didn't add the thread libraries so my wild hypothesis about --disable-threads getting you posix sems on Solaris is way wrong and in fact something far more sinister may happen!!!
