[Bug nptl/379] New: pthread_create fails but the thread executes some instructions


On some failure cases of the pthread_create routine, for exemple when specifying
a high-priority as a standard user which have not enough rights, the
pthread_create will return an error ENOPERM (which is normal) but the
not-created thread will execute for some instructions before being killed. 

This can lead to some problems for exemple when the first instruction of the new
thread is a mutex_lock!
