Ugh, I didn't realize this morning, that you already did try to run 
gdnc from a shell. Sorry, probably was too early for me :-}

This is just to confirm that you'll have to make sure pthread gets 
correctly added during configuration time. Seems that the script 
occasionally fails to do that, at least here on FreeBSD, for no 
apparent reason. OTOH, I just gave it a try and killed all GNUstep 
related tools (gdomap, gdnc, gpbs) then started GNUMail -- no problem 
-- both, gpbs and gdnc, are re-started as expected.
