GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD wrong ?

[Sven Neumann <sven gimp org>]

Hi,

I have problems running threaded apps using current CVS of glib and
gtk+. The app seems to deadlock in the g_static_rec_mutex_lock() calls
made by g_module_open() even though only one thread uses g_module. 
Looking at the code I found that g_system_thread_equal is implemented 
by comaring the contents of variables of type GSystemThread. This can 
of course only work if GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD is set correctly 
during configure. I have no idea why GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD is set 
to 8 in config.h, since sizeof (pthread_t) is 4 on this system (i368, 
glibc2, Linux). Setting it to 4 manually does solve my problems, so I 
guess something is wrong with configure and friends.


Salut, Sven
