Ah.  Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

I think that one of the challenging things about working with
deprecated interfaces like this, particularly those that aren't
very well documented anymore, is that one's intuition from their
replacements may not be accurate.  I believe that's the case
here; behavior one reasonably expects from working with pthreads
is not consistent with the actual behavior of CMA.
