freebsd stable - Sep 2004 - libpthread in 5.3-BETA3

Hi,
I get:
vequess:% mred
Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0)
Abort

I get the same error with some other programs using the lib as well
(gaim & sim).

I commented out the check for '!__threaded' and everything seems to work
fine.
I using FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 (cvsup'ed yesterday).

P.S.
If this is not the place to report problems with 5.x (yet), please correct me,
and have me excused.

This usually means that the program for some reason has dependencies
on more than one thread library (libpthread, libthr, libc_r).

If everything is built from scratch after installation there should
not be any such inconsistencies.

Google for the phrase in the error message and you'll find plenty more
information.

Run "ldd" on the program and see which threads libraries show up...

That is most likely not a safe solution.  The quick workaround is to
use libmap.conf(5) to map all threads libs to one (libpthread).
