It looks to me like this comes from around the time RH was developing
NPTL, and they may have already added the necessary kernel-side stuff
into their 2.4 kernel. Try running:

getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION

and see if it reports NPTL or LinuxThreads.

These SIGSTOPs are weird, but otherwise I don't see anything strange.
In particular set_thread_area and set_tid_address worked; AFAIK they
should have failed on a "real" 2.4 kernel.
