[Mono-devel-list] bootstrap-check on PowerPC / Mac OS X

[Patrick Beard]

When I pull the latest mono runtime sources from CVS (from 
anoncvs.go-mono.com), and successfully bootstrap (that took a while to 
get right this morning, I had to pull fresh from CVS and reapply my 
patches), I tried to run 'make -k bootstrap-test'. I found that mono  
hung when running System.Data_test.dll. The stack crawls of the hung 
process seem to indicate a deadlock:

                       488 semaphore_timedwait_signal_trap

I am trying to validate that my changes to mini-ppc.c and aot.c aren't 
the cause of this. Are these known problems? I'm running on Mac OS X 
10.3.4 on a PB G4 with a gig of memory.
