+ *
+ *     This program tests to see if your standard libc functions use
+ *     pthread_setspecific()/pthread_getspecific() to be thread-safe.
+ *     See src/port/thread.c for more details.
+ *
+ *     This program first tests to see if each function returns a constant
+ *     memory pointer within the same thread, then, assuming it does, tests
+ *     to see if the pointers are different for different threads.  If they
+ *     are, the function is thread-safe.
+ *
+ *     This program must be compiled with the thread flags required by your
+ *     operating system.  See src/template for the appropriate flags, if any.
