Nope, but I saw the same page in the stuff on "www.rs6000.ibm.com";
however, it said "multi-threaded program", so I wasn't sure that this
applied to a library, especially if you weren't actually using threading
in the application.

If it does apply, so that a library that uses pthread stuff - or that
uses a library that uses pthread stuff - must be compiled with "cc_r" or
"xlc_r", somebody should tell the GTK folks about it.

(Does this also mean that Ethereal *itself* would need to be compiled
with "cc_r" or "xlc_r", if compiled with the native AIX C compiler?)
