I will try (tomorrow ?) to check if the problem comes from libc_r ...

But it is probably better to assume a bug in caml_thread_initialize in 
otherlibs/systhreadsin/posix.c for FreeBSD or in other Caml code doing 
openGL initialization.

They are quite a lot of multi-threaded code running well on FreeBSD 
(mozilla, ...) not to assume first a bug in libc_r when a five line bit 
of Caml code that essentially initializes openGL and call 
caml_thread_initialize does SEGV.

But may be they are other reason to suspect libc_r ?

I will try both to compile my small bit of code without libc_r and maybe 
try to localize the line in caml_thread_initialize that trigger the 
crash (I surely can do that because no call to caml_thread_initialize => 
no crash).
