Tip to debug a multi threaded solaris program

Solaris thread library enables extra error checking when environmental variable _THREAD_ERROR_DETECTION is set to 1 or 2.

It would generate a core file in addition to debug/warning messages when _THREAD_ERROR_DETECTION is set to 2. This blog by Chris Quenelle provides some additional details.
