__m_lock = {__status = 1, __spinlock = 0}}
(gdb) print *my_queue
$10 = {_list_head = {le_next = 0x0, le_prev = 0x0}, rr_group = '\\0'

so looks like my_queue was null, but it keeled over in this area

static void
purge_status_checks(request_t **list)
{
        request_t *curr;

        if (!list)
                return;
