[JDEV] Segfault/Dynamic linking Issue with AIM Transport

[Matthew Stromberg]

I filed the bug 76082 with Red Hat.  From what I understand from looking at 
the information on the related bug, it seems like this is hitting a buffer 
that is too small or the threads in pth don't have large enough stacks set 
up (or something like that).

I did not try they patched version of glibc rather I downgraded to the prior 
version (2.2.4-29) which fixed the problem as well.

Any AOL transport developers want to take a look at fixing this?  Red Hat is 
putting out a new version of glibc to stop the crashing, but if there is 
code that isn't setting up buffers/stacks properly it would be worth fixing.
