Yep, the native threads VM in 1.2-pre-v2 triggered a bug in the
LinuxThreads library.  The consequence is that GC doesn't work
reliable.

The native threads VM has been re-written for 1.2.2-RC1 so most of
these problems should be solved in the 1.2.2 RC series.  1.2.2-RC4
(should be available in a couple of days) will fix a few remaining
problems like interruption of the main thread and the EBADF messages.
