Qt 4.4 QtConcurrent and libthread_xu

[Hasso Tepper <hasso@xxxxxxxxx>]

Qt 4.4 integrates QT Concurrent [1] template library which provides 
high-level and very easy to use API for writing multi-threaded programs.

The problem is that all these programs crash (segfault) rather "reliably" 
with libthread_xu while there is no single problem with libc_r. I even 
managed to deadlock whole machine with one example program, but can not 
repeat it for now (I have single desktop at the moment I need to work 
with ;).

I made static binaries from trivial example program you can download 
here - http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~hasso/qt44-threaded-tests.tar.bz2.

runfunction-lr is compiled with libc_r, runfunction-xu with libthread_xu.
runfunction-xu crashing backtrace is always the same:
