Problem summary

  • System crash with the following stack:
    pvthread+022800 STACK:
     00066C88 e_clear_wait+000108 (??)
     00124734 clock+0002F4 (??)

     0015672C flih_util+00024C ()
    

Problem conclusion

  • When we detect that we are issuing a timed operation on a
    semaphore or message queue, we pin the waitlist anchors, and
    then keep them pinned until the ipc object is deleted.
    

Temporary fix
