Hi Chris,
Actually things are getting slightly worse, basically same test scenario
(not the full blown app you keep on mentioning), but this time mutex
locks are failing + the ye-olde massive memory leaks.
I have the mutex set to default mode, and after a few seconds of the
test running mutexes locking unlocking, all of a sudden the mutexes
stop locking, and basically report back EBUSY from pthread_mutex_lock.
I know you weren't going to bother looking into it, but seeing as though
you made a general request for testing updates relating to the new dll
version, I thought it useful and relevant to put in my two cents.
maybe in the future I wont even do that...
Regards
Arash Partow
