password must necessarily have an empty pwd->pw_passwd. Also add a check
that prevents users from setting a blank password unless the nullok option
was specified. Root is still allowed to give anyone a blank password.
Correct a bug that should have wreaked havoc everywhere, but for
some reason only bit unlucky people who use `-march' optimizations.

In order to test this on a single CPU machine, you need to:
sysctl kern.threads.debug=1
sysctl kern.threads.virtual_cpu=2
lock level is 0. Thus far, the threads implementation doesn't use
mutexes or condition variables so the lock level should be 0.
Save the return value when trying to schedule a new thread and
use this to return an error from pthread_create().
Change the max sleep time for an idle KSE to 1 minute from 2 minutes.
Maintain a count of the number of KSEs within a KSEG.
With these changes scope system threads seem to work, but heavy
use of them crash the kernel (supposedly VM bugs).
An incorrectly-sized allocation was being made due to an incorrect
argument to the `sizeof' operator. Obvious, because it violated the
`foo = malloc(sizeof(*foo))' idiom. Hard-to-see, because it was a
missing `*' (`*p' versus `**p').

to be instances where the kernel doesn't properly save and/or
restore it.
Use noupcall and nocompleted flags in the KSE mailbox. These
require kernel changes to work which will be committed sometime
later. Things still work without the changes.
Remove the general kse entry function and use two different
functions -- one for scope system threads and one for scope
process threads. The scope system function is not yet enabled
and we use the same function for all threads at the moment.
Keep a copy of the KSE stack for the case that a KSE runs
a scope system thread and uses the same stack as the thread
(no upcalls are generated, so a separate stack isn't needed).
This isn't enabled yet.
Use a separate field for the KSE waiting flag. It isn't
correct to use the mailbox flags field.
The following fixes were provided by David Xu:
o Initialize condition variable locks with thread versions
of the low-level locking functions instead of the kse versions.
o Enable threading before creating the first thread instead
of after.
o Don't enter critical regions when trying to malloc/free
or call functions that malloc/free.
o Take the scheduling lock when inheriting thread attributes.
o Check the attribute's stack pointer instead of the
attributes stack size for null when allocating a
thread's stack.
o Add a kseg reinit function so we don't have to destroy and
then recreate the same lock.
o Check the return value of kse_create() and return an
appropriate error if it fails.
o Don't forget to destroy a thread's locks when freeing it.
o Examine the correct flags word for checking to see if
a thread is in a synchronization queue.
Things should now work on an SMP kernel.
Note that the tp register (r13) is reserved as the TLS pointer in
the same way that that gp register (r1) is reserved as the global
pointer. This implementation uses the tp register to point to the
thread structure used by the threads implementation. This is not
in violation with the runtime specification provided the TLS is
a fixed distance from the thread structure. This is only an issue
when code used the __thread keyword to create TLS. This is not
supported at the moment.

This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes
with the exception of one. It also seems to work OK with KDE
including konqueror, kwrite, etc. I haven't been able to get
mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested
to see how it works with that.
