The regression test (testbase_nsk) nsk/regression/b4336548 hangs
while running under the HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3.1ea-b01, compiled mode)
(Ladybird) on Solaris.
The test generates two concurrently executed threads and expects
these threads to finish successfully.
The first thread runs in infinite loop waiting signal to finish
from the second thread.
The second thread calls in loop (10 times) the System.gc() method
and then sets a flag for the first thread to finish.
This test hangs when it runs under the HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3.1ea-b01)
in both compiled and mixed modes on the two-processor SPARCstation-10.
In interpreted mode the test passes.
Also the same failure happens when the test runs under the HotSpot Client VM,
build 1.3.0 (kest-sol-rc1).
But the test passes in all modes on the one-processor UltraSPARC.
NOTES.
This test has been developed on the base of the 4336548 bugreport
(4336548 (P3/S3) [solaris i386] Compiler Safepoints do not work on multiprocessor systems).
According to the current state of bugreport this bug had been fixed and
integrated in kest-sol-beta2 release on Jul 24 2000.
