Bug#276312: NPTL: race in implementation of pthread_cond_broadcast



Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-17
Severity: normal

The NPTL-implementation of pthread_cond_broadcast used in 2.3.2.ds1-17
contains a race. In some situation pthread_cond_broadcast did not wake
up all waiting members and waits for ever. This race is fixed in CVS and 
glibc 2.3.3.
Thanks to Thomas Gleixner to Track down the Problem.
