valgrind detects invalid writes in _dl_allocate_tls* functions.


hi,

i'm currently testing new toolchain on my application and getting
random sigsegv. the application uses threads for simple background
processing and works fine on earlier gcc-4.3/glibc-2.8/boost.thread triplet.

now on gcc-4.4/glibc-2.10.1/boost.thread valgrind reports such errors:

Invalid write of size 8

    (...)

i suppose that something was wrongly compiled by new gcc but i don't know
how to isolate core of the problem. could anyone help me to track this?

thanks in advance.
