The above trace continues like:

 ld-linux-x86-64-2164  [006] ....   410.762336: SyS_futex: 00007ffbeb76b028: 80000871  op=FUTEX_LOCK_PI

 ld-linux-x86-64-2164  [006] ....   410.762347: SyS_futex: 00007ffbeb76b028: 80000871 ret=ETIMEDOUT
 ld-linux-x86-64-2161  [019] ....   410.762521: SyS_futex: 00007ffbeb76b028: 80000871  op=FUTEX_LOCK_PI
 ld-linux-x86-64-2161  [019] ....   410.762522: SyS_futex: 00007ffbeb76b028: 80000871 ret=EDEADLK

And every subsequent attempt by 2161 will (obviously) return EDEADLK.

Now since the test explicitly tracks the lock state[] and
pthread_mutex_*lock() return values this _should_ have triggered one of
the printf()'s, but I never saw any of those.
