They provided little benefit (if any) and they caused some problems
in OpenOffice, at least in post-KSE -current and perhaps in other
environments too. The nanosleep calls prevented the profiling timer
from advancing during the spinloops, thereby preventing the thread
scheduler from ever pre-empting the spinning thread. Alexander
Kabaev diagnosed this problem, Martin Blapp helped with testing,
and Matt Dillon provided some helpful suggestions.
This is a short-term fix for a larger problem. The use of spinlocking
isn't guaranteed to work in all cases. For example, if the spinning
thread has higher priority than all other threads, it may never be
pre-empted, and the thread holding the lock may never progress far
enough to release the lock. On the other hand, spinlocking is the
only locking that can work with an arbitrary unknown threads package.
I have some ideas for a much better fix in the longer term. It
would eliminate all locking inside the dynamic linker by making it
safe for symbol lookups and lazy binding to proceed in parallel
with a call to dlopen or dlclose. This means that the only mutual
exclusion needed would be to prevent multiple simultaneous calls
to dlopen and/or dlclose. That mutual exclusion could be put into
the native pthreads library. Applications using foreign threads
packages would have to make their own arrangements to ensure that
they did not have multiple threads in dlopen and/or dlclose -- a
reasonable requirement in my opinion.

Make sure that the child process's standard error goes through the same
NVT-ASCII filter as is applied to the standard output.
Don't attempt to call logerr() from the child since stdio is not safe in
a vforked process. Just write a message to fd 2 instead. (Ideally, the
parent would open two pipes, and siphon off our stderr to some place less
public, but I have not attempted to do so in this implementation.)

Martin Blapp determined that the elf dynamic loader was at fault. In
particular, the loader uses alloca() to allocate a symbol cache on the
stack. Normally this would work just fine, but if the loader is called
from a threaded program and the object being loaded is fairly large the
alloca() can blow away the thread stack and effect other nearby thread
stacks as well. My testing showed that the symbol cache can be as large
as 250KBytes during the openoffice port build and install sequence. Martin
was able to work around the problem by disabling the symbol cache
(cache = NULL;). However, this solution is not adequate for commit because
it can cause an enormous cpu burden for applications which do a lot of
dynamic loading (e.g. like konqueror).
The solution is to use anonymous mmap() to temporarily allocate space to
hold the symbol cache. In testing I found that replacing the alloca()
with mmap() has no observable degredation in performance.
It should be noted that this bug does not necessarily cause an immediate
crash but can instead result in long term corruption and instability in
applications that load modules from threads. The bug is almost certainly
responsible for some of the instabilities found in konqueror, for example,
and possibly netscape too.

This gives us something to reliably test against.
o For weak references to undefined sysmbols (as indicated by
