Oooh, that's interesting. I was just blindly assuming that it was
a problem with the Alpha spinlock code (we've sure heard plenty of
discussion of same). But maybe there's an actual logic bug in the
checkpoint code. I don't see one in a quick scan though.

FWIW, I do *not* see this behavior on HPUX. It seems perfectly
reproducible on the Debian Alpha box. Is it reproducible on your
i386 box, or only sometimes?

Vadim, any ideas?
