Hello all -

In the util/linux directory of the LiS distribution is a file named thrtst.c .
It generates an executable named 'thrtst'.


Reading the source of this file, it appears that the tool creates thread pairs
( sender/reader , pitcher/catcher, whatever you'd like to call them ),
and sends msgs back and forth.


Using the command line:    thrtst  -t4 -f0
, I am expecting that the thread pairs would report traffic that is
fairly evenly distributed.

On a RED HAT AS 3.0 box, using LiS 2.16.16 ( a version that is
in the Nov 2003 timeframe ), my expectation holds true for a while.
Then after about 3 minutes, one of the pairs stops reporting any traffic.
( the number of messages transmitted remains constant like something is stuck. )


Has any body seen this behavior before ?

( Please note that in order to run this test, I had to modify the relay.c file/driver to remove the print statements. )
