# [[FAQ entry|faq/libpthread_dlopen]]
+Some applications don't themselves link against libpthread, but then load
+plugins which do link against libpthread. This means internally switching from
+single-threading to multi-threading, which is only supported since libc0.3
+2.19-16~2. Previously, it would result in errors such as:
+
+ ./pthread/../sysdeps/generic/pt-mutex-timedlock.c:70: __pthread_mutex_timedlock_internal: Assertion `__pthread_threads' failed.
+
+*This is now fixed as of libc0.3 2.19-16~2.*
