Comment:

 Now appears to be fixed by this:

   Modified files:        (Branch: ghc-6-4-branch)
     ghc/rts              Capability.c
   Log:
   Fix crash in the threaded RTS caused by spurious wakeups of
   pthread_cond_wait().  This is certainly affecting the threaded RTS in
   6.4.x on Solaris, and possibly other platforms too.  I'm currently
   testing to see whether there are any further problems on Solaris, but
   with luck this may be the final fix for the threaded RTS problems in
   the 6.4.x branch.

   Does not affect 6.6; the corresponding code in 6.6 is already
   spurious-wakeup-safe.
