RedHat 9 and Fedora Core both use NPTL threading. I've never seen any problems like this, and I use FC1 as my production RADIUS server OS. The only exec-program stuff I've used is the ntlm_auth portion of the mschap module, and I've never had any problems with it. Perhaps it is even Debian-unstable specific? Or perhaps kernel 2.6 specific?
