As you can see in my last post in that issue I didn't get the original 
error, which was in "__tls_get_addr". But instead I got a different 
error in "strncmp":

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000000
0x97655133 in strncmp ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x97655133 in strncmp ()
#1  0x0000101c in ?? ()
Previous frame inner to this frame (gdb could not unwind past this frame)
(gdb)

Either I messed something up or the solution we thought of couldn't fix 
the problem. In either case it might good to apply anyway, it woks on 
Snow Leopard.

I guess now that we have github it should be pull request.
