And now you enter the cycle of pain... Getting threading working on 
HP/UX appears to depend on 
a) The HP/UX major and minor version
b) The compiler and version
c) Wierd and mysterious compile options that vary with a) and b)
d) The phase of the moon.

This has come up many times in the past - what is needed is for someone
with deep HP/UX knowledge and exposure to a bunch of different HP/UX 
versions to volunteer to fix it. If HP offered something like Compaq's
TestDrive machines, or donated some boxes to the sourceforge compile
farm, someone might be able to look at it. At the moment, there's no-one
who's stepped forward to fix this.
