OK, an update, full history at http://twitter.com/rgerhards
It looks like there is some trouble with GCC atomic operation support. Has anyone seen this race on a non-Debian platform? I am asking because that may narrow down (or not ;)) the issue. Of course, I am not sure if atomic operations are really the root cause. However, replacing them is not very practical at some places and definitely time-consuming. So I'd like to have some feedback before I take that route. Does anyone know if there is a problem with atomic operation support in Debian (no bashing, honest question ;))?
