Subject: Solution to my linuxthreads problem

Yesterday I reported a problem with the current glibc when using
headers from 2.3.33 on a Linux 2.2.13 system.  Together with Andreas
Schwab we've fixed this with the appended patch.  The problem is that
ugetrlimit doesn't exist and therefore errno is set - but errno is not
initialized yet.  The solution is to move the getrlimit call after
errno has been set.

	* pthread.c (pthread_initialize): Move getrlimit call after
	setting of errno.
