Nobody seems to even have bothered to check. I send in a patch All I can say is that I hope you will get your problem fixed with one of the next -aa, I incidentally started working on it yesterday. So far it's a one thousand diff very far from compiling, so it will grow further, but it shouldn't take too long to finish the rewrite. Once finished the benchmarks and the reproducible 2.4 deadlocks will tell me if I'm right. Andrea
