UV 10.2.10 on Windows is behaving differently from what I recall.
Are my expectations out of line?

Suppose Session A holds a readu lock; and Session B attempts a WRITE to same record withOUT!!! 1st explicitly getting the readu lock.
Session B waits for Session A to release the lock before writing the record.

While Session B is waiting, does it show up as a "waiter" in LIST.READU EVERY?
I expected so,  but it doesn't.


Session A                       Session B
_____________________________   ___________________
1A. ED VOC DUMMY
   (this sets the readu lock.)

2A. (stay in editor)            2B. run this:
01: OPEN 'VOC' TO F ELSE STOPM 'nope' 02: ***READU REC FROM F, 'DUMMY' ELSE NULL
                                    03:    WRITE '' TO F, 'DUMMY'

3A. Within ED:
    XEQ LIST.READU EVERY


If I UN-comment line 2, LIST.READU EVERY shows something like this:

    Active Read Waiters:      Owner   Waiter
    Device....  Inode....     Userno  Userno
    746117947    232860913      6116    3396


But when I comment out line 2, LIST.READU is silent.
I have not yet explored what the deadlock daemon does.

TIA,
cds


P.S. Yes, yes, "Bad Form", "Legacy Software", 20 min wait is configurable, . . . we can talk later.
