I'm seeing the following stack trace in a testsuite for a threaded
program. At the time I generated the coredump, the process was in a
loop calling kse_release({0,1000000}) about 1.5 million times/sec,
every call returning EINVAL.
There are three calls to kse_release in thr_kern.c and one in
thr_sig.c, none of which check the returnvalue. The call in thr_sig.c
and two of the calls in thr_kern.c even have code after kse_release()
as if they expected the call to return (which it shouldn't under normal
circumstances). One call in thr_kern.c has a /* Never reach */ commect
after the call to kse_release, but again, no checks or calls to abort()
if it does happen.
