Yes, the patch helped. The strange thing is when I build CVS Glibc
with nptl and run my program (using elf/ld.so --library-path
.:nptl:....)
without this patch, it runs much faster, compare to running with default
glibc on RH 9. 
This patch helped when I run the test program using glibc on RH 9.
Any idea why it behaves differently in both cases? The kernel is common.

Thanks,
