program hangs in exit()

The following program hangs during final exit()
using NPTL on RH9. It works using Linuxthreads.
The fgets() blocks while holding stdin->_lock and
during exit(), _IO_cleanup() also tries to acquire
same lock. Under Linuxthreads, the pthread_handle_exit() 
calls __fresetlockfiles() which resets all file locks. 
This is missing under NPTL.
