Description of problem:
The linux threads library seems to segfault when sharing mutexes between threads
that are created recursively. The routine that I used to display this bug goes
as follows:

1) Create a thread that has atomic variable protected by a mutex
2) use the parent thread for atomically changing a variable and condvar for
signalling the change
3) on receival of the signal the child thread will create a new child that will
act in a similar manner.

Loop that rapidly for a while and linux threads will do a segmentation fault.
See the attached code that runs smoothly on solaris.

I managed to reproduce the problem on atleast:
2.4.2-2 kernel, 2.2.4-13 glibc
2.4.9-31 kernel, 2.2.4-19.3 glibc
2.4.17 kernel, 2.2.4-19.3 glibc
2.4.9-21smp kernel, 2.2.4-19.3 glibc

On SMP machine segmentation faults were not as common, but pthread_mutex calls
failed with EINVAL although everything should've been in order.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the accompanied example
2. execute the compiled binary at CLI in while loop
3. see the segmentation faults happend.
