Is this a stock 2.4.x kernel or a distro-modified one that might have
things backported from 2.6?

Can you re-run the strace with:

    strace -f -o logfile test_threads2

-f is needed to trace anything but the main thread/original process,
and -o to a file produces nicer output (pid/tid on each line) than the
usual default.
