        vismain.out contained only the following 1 line output after the
error.

`.protected' seems to be handled correctly, good!




>How-To-Repeat:


        ${SRC}/configure --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads && make && make
check

        Repeat  "make check" a few times to skip over the
        known? missing function problems in math test.

        make check

>Fix:


        Have no idea.

	However, this seems to be a known problem from my reading
	of glibc-alpha mailing list lately.

	After I ignored these (knonw?) bugs, 
	make check
	ran to completion without breakage.
 
(I tried to send the report from my personal account,
but somehow the mail host of my ISP ended up in ORBS
database and the SMTP server at cygnus refused to
accept it and so I am submitting this from my office account.
My linux PC is at home, and so reply-to address is preferred.)
