Yup. As long as the language doesn't address the issue of memory 
isolation and "out-of-thin-air" stores (including lack of implied 
cchsb on control conditions), pthreads (even under "all-XBD-4.10-
calls-are-fully-fenced" interpretation) is totally broken. XBD 
4.10 defects come on top of that brokenness.
