Hi,

Our threading implementation has been replaced since this bug was filed. It is now
based on NPTL.

It's possible (though I haven't investigated) that this hang was caused by a bug
in our threading library, and in that case it might no longer apply. Note, however,
that since there are currently other problems with in glib2.0 testsuite, it is
difficult to tell if we're looking at the same bug or something new.

Unless someone can confirm that gthread/spawn-multithreaded still hangs, I'd recommend
closing this bug.

In either case, my timeout.diff patch in [1] would help casting the FTBFS problem aside,
leaving us with only the test failure itself.
