While taking a look at this bug I discovered that the test suite doesn't
pass 100% of the test when compiled with the NO_PTHREADS option. The
following tests seem to be failing:

t1060-object-corruption.sh                       (Wstat: 256 Tests: 13 Failed: 3)
  Failed tests:  7-9
  Non-zero exit status: 1
t5306-pack-nobase.sh                             (Wstat: 256 Tests: 4 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  4
  Non-zero exit status: 1
t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh                    (Wstat: 256 Tests: 12 Failed: 2)
  Failed tests:  4-5
  Non-zero exit status: 1
t5530-upload-pack-error.sh                       (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  10
  Non-zero exit status: 1

I didn't take a close look at it but this would seem to indicate that we
don't worry to much about systems without pthreads support.  Just food
for thought.
