Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
There are two valid return values from WaitForMultipleObjects() which indicate that a mutex object was successfully obtained, WAIT_OBJECT_0 and WAIT_ABANDONED.  WAIT_ABANDONED is not being handled appropriately in
j2se/src/windows/transport/shmem/shmem_md.c, i.e., the thread may never release the mutex, which can result in other threads remaining blocked.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced rarely.

EVALUATION Although the WAIT_ABANDONED code is documented return value, it would return that the thread exit while ownering the mutex. We have mailed the submitter (via Marvin) to get more information about the hang.

EVALUATION The submitter is correct and the WAIT_ABANDONED is treated as a general error. I'm not aware of any case where we have observed this but it should be fixed. ###@###.### 2005-05-06 19:19:04 GMT
