Did it actually solve it or just hide it? IIRC, NPTL causes 'ps' to show
process trees differently..
Oh, I misread this. The reason it shows the process tree different is
because you're mapping threads to processes when you use userspace
threads, so each thread will show up as a process. With NPTL all
threads keep the PID of the parent process.
linuxthreads are not POSIX compliant in this way.
