BTW, I did try to reproduce this bug. Mainline GDB and manythreads.exp
appear to work everytime on NPTL based FC2 and RHEL2 GNU/Linux systems
(well at least for the 30+ test runs I tried). That wasn't the case
with 6.1.
We should probably mention this fix in the NEWS file, and the apparent
linuxthreads regression in PROBLEMS.
