I've seen this on-and-off again on the hppa-linux port. The issue has,
in my experience, been a compiler problem. My standard operating
procedure is to methodically add volatile to the atomic.h operations
until it goes away, and then work out the compiler mis-optimization.
The bug is almost always a situation where the lll_unlock is scheduled
before owner = 0, and the assert catches the race condition where you
unlock but have not yet cleared the owner.
$0.02.
Cheers,
Carlos.
