Sorry, I looked on my debian box. On mdk, the ruby and the libtk do
not depend on pthreads.

So, this cannot be the problem. :-(((

We use those packages, and my brother tried compile from the latest
sources which mdk provides. Still crashes...

The program crashes after I start to iterate through on a
DBI::statementHandle with 2-3000 rows, but not always the same place.
Sometimes during the iteration (searching, anyway), sometimes after
it. I suspect to the GC, too, as many objects are created during this
process.

How can I get more debug info, which I can forward to you?
