 Simple test for libgc

+The test i just posted seems to display the bug in libgc. If i run
+that program with a glibc with linuxthreads, i get lots of threads
+spawn, who continue to call lots of GC_MALLOCs each time they are spawn.
+
+
+However, if i run the same test program with a pure NPTL glibc, after
+about 200 or so threads (i'll have to test to get the exact number),
+the  "GC_ALLOC in thread!" messages disappear, and the only printed
+text is 
+
+250 threads
+251 threads
+252 threads
+
+etc, ad infinitum. I'm assuming that if the same type of thing was
+happening with mono, then the hangs everyone is seeing would be the
+result of this. hitting ^c and trying to get a "t a a bt" for this
+degenerate case always shows just one thread, with two lines with no
+symbols. I can try to get those symbols if it would help.
