Tried it and switched back to libc_r. Whole bunch of problems appeared in KDE applications right after switch. * Akregator with about 40 RSS feeds - updating about 20% of them fails * KNode with about 50 newsgroups - two cache files where unusable at all for it and all newsgroups lost all cached headers. * Konqueror throws random errors. No single problem with libc_r. I have feeling (nothing else yet) that all this is related to accessing files. Some months ago when I tried to switch to libthread_xu.so, I had 100% reproduceable problem with "alternative KDE soundsystem" akode, but I can't reproduce it any more. Akode couldn't play any file because it couldn't open any ogg/mp3 file - fstat failed with EBADF. But as I said, I can't reproduce it any more with current HEAD. I'd be very glad if someone else would take a look at KDE problems, my schedule is full at the moment :(. -- Hasso
