There is clearly good things with LinuxThreads (i.e. simplicity, ...)
But as long as, at least...
 - top
 - ps
 - kill
 - gdb
... are not fixed, and to not really understand the difference between a thread
and a process, using multithreaded application in Linux will remain a huge pain.
In my opinion, the LinuxThread design (1-1 mapping) is sound, but
its implementation is incomplete and not ready for prime time use.
