gdb is practically useless on a Linux threaded application.. which is a
big pain when trying to debug async-io related issues.

libc/libpthread is known to have problems in many early revisions. Which
libc version are you using?

I would not recommend trying Linux threading using other than the latest
supported version of gnu-libc. I would NOT recommend trying to use
threads on any version of libc5.X+LinuxThreads.
