1 // This testcase, when run with large number of threads
2 // under stace -f, may never finish because strace does not
3 // ensure any fairness in thread scheduling:
4 // it restarts threads as they stop. If daughter threads crowd out
5 // the "mother" and _they_ get continually restarted by strace,
6 // the end of spawning loop will never be reached.
7 //
8 // Also, it is a testcase which triggers the
9 // "strace: Exit of unknown pid 32457 seen"
10 // message when on testcase exit, strace sees deaths of newly-attached
11 // threads _before_ their first syscall stop.
