Link: Threads Cannot be Implemented as a Library
I've already linked to this in passing , but I'm going to rerun itas an explicit link. Threads Cannot be Implemented as a Library by HansBoehm makes the argument in its title:

A (Solaris 8) automounter irritation
Here's an automounter irritation that keeps biting us: on fileservers,the Solaris 8 automounter is not smart enough to notice when anunderlying If it gets a request for the filesystem, it 'mounts' things anyways,which then fouls up various aspects of, say, remounting the realfilesystems.
