| Hello,
Ah, so this will be introduced in V4.0D --
How about V4.0A and V4.0B ? Are there plans to port it there as well ?

| Bug found. It's a little race condition that's in fact harmless.
The threads code has been modified not to bugcheck when it
detects the race.
I believe patches for V4.0b and earlier are in process.

| 1457.6 | A CLD may be on the way... | PEACHS::LAMPERT | Pat Lampert, UNIX Applications Support, 343-1050 | Fri Mar 07 1997 17:19 | 6 |
| A major customer, NYNEX, is getting very hot about this problem.
Is the 4.0b patch kit with this fix available yet unofficially?
Thanks.

| 1457.7 | Problem CLD already. See log# MCPM212N1 | PEACHS::LAMPERT | Pat Lampert, UNIX Applications Support, 343-1050 | Mon Mar 10 1997 16:20 | 5 |
| The CSC has attached two additional calls to this CLD.
We are awaiting a solution.

| THe CSC has attached another call to the CLD. This is a hot issue for a
Government related job.
Harmless race conditions still cause the system to fail and threads to
become unuseable.

Hmmm, you're missing a smiley face there.
Since I made the "harmless" comment, I'll respond here because I hate
having my occasional attempts to be helpful/informative taken and
repeated back to me completely out of context.
First, your comment seems to imply that the DECthreads folks
(of which I am not one) have been taking their time getting
this fix to market. Wrong. I think we can blame the patch
process for that turnaround issue.
And, of course, you obviously must realize that I never meant to say
that the bugcheck itself was harmless. Just that the fix was simple to
make by ignoring the kernel's unhelpful detection of an *otherwise*
harmless race in the target thread's state.
So next time please keep your unhelpful and uninformative comments
properly marked with a smiley so that I'll know not to get pissed off
when I read them....

| 1457.10 | Patch available for V4.0B | PTHRED::MARYS | Mary Sullivan, DECthreads Engineering | Tue Apr 29 1997 18:17 | 4 |
| The V4.0B patch for this problem is now available. See note 8.12.
V4.0 and V4.0A kits are expected in the near future.
