Description of problem:
I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1b3.

Running Zope with Python  had the strange effect that
after the upgrade Zope seems to hang after some HTTP 
request (nothing happens, no new connections were accepted).

I straced Zope and it always hangs here:

No idea what's going one here.

The same problems (hanging process in futex call) have been found in RH9. 

1. Suddenly, any running of rpm hangs (fixed by `rm -f /var/lib/rpm/--db*`)

2. And while Oracle 9.2 installation, java machine hangs with this strace:

Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2004-09-27 17:06:11 UTC
There have been many different issues wrt to using libpthread since
RHL9.  In libpthread or the programs using it.  AFAIK the current code
is fine.  I'm closing the bug since the information is outdated in any
case.  Should there be a problem in current code, file new bugs.
