The default mutex is created (fast)
I checked for possible deadlocks , etc , none to my knowledge.
And the same code works fine all the time. Only when its run
for a couple of days continuously it ends up with this hanging issue.


Qns : 

1. When will pthread_mutex_lock end up calling sem_destroy ?
   What are the conditions for this to occur ?

2. If you see sem_destroy ends up calling
 pthread_kill_other_threads_np
which tries to kill all the threads in the process.

Ideally I've seen  pthread_kill_other_threads_np
call only when the process runs out of resources/descriptors or 
soemthing.

 Why is this being called here ?

3. Any ptrs on known issues on pthread_mutex_lock or when does 
pthread_mutex_lock create the above stack trace will be helpful.


Thanks,
