From: Christoph Lameter on
Same thing happens with fakeroot-tcp. So it looks like it is not the
semaphore ops but the wakeup logic.

In one case processes wer waiting in sk_wait?? or so and one sees

libfakeroot: read: Connection timed out

after awhile. Wereupon the build continues for a while until it hangs for
good.

Another run resulted in hangs during futex wait:

$ strace -p8015
Process 8015 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x2b6bd51d0640, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL

There are always some zombies around when this occurs.
