Works just fine without threads.  No one here has had the time to
sift through all of the threading issues on FreeBSD.  (Hint: try
passing --enable-threads to configure and seeing what happens to
your server with worker MPM.)  Our current thoughts (see STATUS) is
that the condition variables may be broken.

I bet part of the problems may be our own fault and others may be
because FreeBSD's threading implementation isn't (yet) very solid.
Regardless, if you *need* threading, use another OS.  -- justin

My understanding of the situation is that FreeBSD's threading is
very good, unless you use SYSV semaphores which aren't intercepted
by the userland threading library and so block the whole process.
