 a) the test case is failing on SLED 10 SP1.
 b) Which version you have in SLED 10 SP1 (mono --version and rpm -qi
 mono-core)
 c) if you upgrade to Mono 1.2.3, the problem goes away

+I think the issue may well be in the s390 atomic asm: it uses
+hardcoded registers (1 in compareexchange, 1 and 2 in the others):
+there is no guarantee that gcc will not use the same registers for the
+other arguments. Apart from that, I don't see how the code returns the
+old value at the memory location, instead it looks like it returns the
+old value we were expecting, which works just fine if the swap
+succeds, but is the wrong one if it fails.
