It works under Solaris, and I have some real software here that
expects it to work.

I would not be surprised if there were more threading bugs in the
sunrpc directory -- for instance, while developing that test program I
discovered that (clnt|svc)raw_create were completely broken by the
thread changes.  As in "this code cannot possibly work anymore, even
single-threaded."

Is there an actual problem with my patch?
