I've added bug 20116 to blockers, it's a use after free in pthread_create
for which I have a patch and will get it in shortly. The patch is quite
simple (6 lines contributed by VMWare, below the copyright threshold).
Conceptually the bigger problem is our ownership of the thread descriptor
is all over the place and cause issues like that seen in bug 19951.
