I leave it to the thread subgroup to decide... Should we discuss on

I don't have a strong opinion; I was just testing both because it was
easy to do so. If we want to concentrate on the trunk, I can adjust
my MTT setup.
I think trying to worry about 1.2 would just be a time sink. We know
that there are architectural issues with threads in some parts of the
code. I don't see us re-architecting 1.2 in this regard.
Seems we should only focus on the trunk.

Yes, this is a known issue. I don't know -- are we trying to make
threads work on the 1.2 branch, or just the trunk? I had thought
just the trunk?

I had similar problems on the trunk, which was fixed by Brian with
r14877.
Perhaps 1.2 needs something similar?

Per the teleconf last week, I have started to revamp the Cisco MTT
infrastructure to do simplistic thread testing. Specifically, I'm
building the OMPI trunk and v1.2 branches with "--with-threads --
enable-mpi-threads".
I haven't switched this into my production MTT setup yet, but in
the
first trial runs, I'm noticing a segv in the test/threads/
opal_condition program.
It seems that in the thr1 test on the v1.2 branch, when it calls
opal_progress() underneath the condition variable wait, at some
point
in there current_base is getting to be NULL. Hence, the following
segv's because the passed in value of "base" is NULL (event.c):
int
opal_event_base_loop(struct event_base *base, int flags)
{
const struct opal_eventop *evsel = base->evsel;
...
Here's the full call stack:
#0 0x0000002a955a020e in opal_event_base_loop (base=0x0, flags=5)
at event.c:520
#1 0x0000002a955a01f9 in opal_event_loop (flags=5) at event.c:514

#7 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
This test seems to work fine on the trunk (at least, it didn't segv
in my small number of trail runs).
Is this a known problem in the 1.2 branch? Should I skip the
thread
testing on the 1.2 branch and concentrate on the trunk?
