I suspect it may have been caused by an incompatibility between
how the library was configured (e.g., not thread safe) vs how it
was being used (e.g., with -D_REENTRANT). A library configured
in one BUILDMODE (e.g., shared,optimized) or objects compiled
with its headers aren't binary compatible with another BUILDMODE
(e.g., shared,optimized,pthreads).

Yes, these should be fixed in 4.2 (due to be released in about
a month or so):
