Not when I got SIGTRAP. When I get that, the first few backtraces are in 
pthread_getconcurrency (or somesuch), then followed by a few other 
pthread functions, a bunch of ??'s, until finally getting a message that 
the stackframe may be corrupt. Wghen I get SIGABRT though, yeah the 
first few functions are in X.

Tried with release and debug builds, shared.

Yeah, this seems to be a problem with Gentoo as well.. the default 
pthreads lib is stripped. I don't know how easy it will be to replace it 
though so it doesn't get stripped.
