Some more tests on other system configurations showed that this problem 
seems to
be dependent on the number of available CPU-s. On systems with only 2 
CPUs the problem
rarely reproduces. On Systems with 8 CPUs the problem reproduces with 
almost
every run. Maybe this is the reason why you failed to repro this problem 
so far?

Thanks
    Roland
