/*
 *	Threading sometimes requires specially-named versions of functions
 *	that return data in static buffers, like strerror_r() instead of
 *	strerror().  Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific()
 *	and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library
 *	functions to return static data to threaded applications. And some
 *	operating systems have neither.
 *
 *	Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that
 *	use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions
 *	of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems
 *	that require them.	However, internally, these *_r functions merely
 *	call the thread-safe standard library functions.
 *
 *	For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid().  Internally,
 *	getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return
 *	static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner.	However, BSD/OS
 *	also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts
 *	around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration.
 *	Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required.  It also
 *	doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r
 *	functions for threaded programs.
 *
 *	The current setup is to try threading in this order:
 *
 *		use *_r function names if they exit
 *			(*_THREADSAFE=ye)
 *		use non-*_r functions if they are thread-safe
 *
 *	One thread-safe solution for gethostbyname() might be to use getaddrinfo().
 *
 *	Run src/tools/thread to see if your operating system has thread-safe
 *	non-*_r functions.
