Well, given enough time even monkeys can type out Shakespeare... I'll try to get some small test case for this but with my skills it might be a while. I did notice that if I reduce the iterations from 30 to less than 7 the test passes. Looking at GC's debug output it seems once the 7th thread is created it triggers the GC and blocks on sem_wait call in gc pthread_stop_world. And the GC should be using same patches as one from ports I'd say the error is found somewhere in gauche's c code. Timo
