It's not an error in NetBSD's pthread implementation, it's an error in
Nagios. But our pthread implementation is a lot stricter than Linux's,
which makes errors apparant that (usually) go unnoticed on Linux systems,
where they are silently ignored.

That's only a workaround, it makes libpthread ignore errors (like under
Linux) instead of aborting on them (NetBSD's default). Yes, Nagios runs
when setting that flag, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem.
