3. The Borland Builder 5.5 version of the library produces memory read exceptions
in some tests.

+4. pthread_barrier_wait() can deadlock if the number of potential calling
+threads for a particular barrier is greater than the barrier count parameter
+given to pthread_barrier_init() for that barrier.
+
+This is due to the very lightweight implementation of pthread-win32 barriers.
+To cope with more than "count" possible waiters, barriers must effectively
+implement all the same safeguards as condition variables, making them much
+"heavier" than at present.
+
+The workaround is to ensure that no more than "count" threads attempt to wait
+at the barrier.
