[ELDK] Ubuntu 8.04 and ELDK 4.1

Hi Scott,

Ok thanks, this confirms my suspicions.  Somehow rpm really stresses the
futex calls.  This may easily lead to seemingly non-deterministic
behaviour as futexes should only be trouble makers under contention.  If
I am not mistaken, this is very hard to predict...

Cheers
