      2  * Test program that triggers a race between pthread_barrier_wait() and
      3  * pthread_barrier_destroy(): proper synchronization is missing between
      4  * the pthread_barrier_wait() and the pthread_barrier_destroy() calls. This
      5  * test program is based on the example that was posted on February 5, 2009 by
      6  * Christoph Bartoschek on the valgrind-users mailing list. Redistribution of
      7  * the source code below is permitted under the GPLv2 license.
