NetBSD/i386 - single-CPU machine
>Description:
Two threads with a mutex scheme using _lwp_suspend(2) and _lwp_continue(2) to schedule access to the mutex. Hitting ^C to terminate the process causes a deadlock. Here is the output of ps awx -s nlwps
UID PID PPID CPU LID NLWP PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
1000 22714 28925 0 2 2 28 0 224 600 - U ttyp0 0:00.02 ./test
1000 22714 28925 0 1 2 10 0 224 600 lwpwait I ttyp0 0:00.02 ./test
Attaching to the process using gdb is also futile.
