-This package seems to deadlock or otherwise misbehave under FreeBSD. As
-documentation on FreeBSD threading is sorely lacking and confusing, I'll
-just call FreeBSD broken with regards to threading.

-If you find out whats wrong, please tell me.

-Some people had luck with using OPTIMIZE=-O instead of -O2, so you might
-want to try that.
+If you have problems with deadlocks or crashes on your system,
+make sure your perl has been linked with -lpthread (you might try
+LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libpthread.so as a workaround). Also, pthread support
+under many BSDs is not the best - before reporting a bug in this module,
+make sure it's not an OS bug.
