iirc we ended up deciding that the futex problems around that time were due
to userspace problems (a version of libc). But then, there's no discussion
around Seto's patch and it didn't get applied. So I don't know what
happened to that work - it's all a bit mysterious.
Is this a 100% repeatable hang, or is it some occasional race?
