Possibilities are that something has gone wrong with the recent cmpxchg
changes which are now in mainline, or there's something wrong with
futex-fix-init-order.patch or
futex-runtime-enable-pi-and-robust-functionality.patch.

Or, of course, it's something else ;)

First question is: does this happen in current mainline?

If not, it would be useful if someone could test futex-fix-init-order.patch
and futex-runtime-enable-pi-and-robust-functionality.patch on curent
mainline, because those are planned for 2.6.25.

Thanks.
