actually, i used it for daily use for a month or so stopped using it
due to the limitations on filesystem size
that existed at the time (i believe this might have been resolved,
haven't been following the hurd much lately)...

hurd actually changed their pthreads implementation to start at 1 instead of 0
even though their original pthreads implementation was correct,
iirc because of similar problems with java or something
(which i think also uses the gthread implementation Andrew Pinski
mentions isn't fixed by the patch i posted there)

this means that while the bug still exists there is no longer any platforms
which are affected by it afaik.

yeah i ran on x86, not sure about Riccardo
