[elephant-devel] pthreads-related patch

[Ian Eslick]

I think the pthreads library is required for BDB to run properly.  This
may be an interaction caused by the latest version of SBCL.  I'll look
at this from my end this week and promote your patch to HEAD if it is a
solution to the general problem.

Thank you!
Ian
