As John already mentioned, I think the main question is why sync_threadlists
doesn't appear to correct update the thread list.  What is the list of threads
it receives from the OS here?  What is supposed to happen according to the
AIX interface specification?

While I still agree this would be useful to do, I don't see how it would
address the problem you're currently seeing.
