It's a technical compromise and isn't perfect. This is supposed to be a 
surprise? There's not a cross-platform standard out there that doesn't suck 
in one form or fashion. The Linux implementation does exacerbate the 
problems, though it wouldn't surprise me if that was intentional.

It'd be nice if they took the damn POSIX Pthreads label off the things--if 
they aren't abiding by the standard they shouldn't use the name.
