Aaron and I went back and forth on this. He was of the mind that
the user scheduler should figure it out after a period of time
(and that we shouldn't muck with it).
The badness happens in testthread.c - Solaris executes that code
in serial since the user scheduler never has a chance to
interrupt and balance the threads. But, in the "real" code,
Solaris balances it since we hit syscalls and mutexes quite often.
An equivalent to calling pthread_setconcurrency is to use
/usr/lib/lwp/libthread.so instead of /usr/lib/libthread.so.
