[Comments made about CVS just after Tue, 13 Aug 2002 19:44:01 +01:00 (BST) 
updates] 
 
Whilst conducting the regression tests (as part of the rolling CVS regression 
testing) I discovered a problem. With the version set to "win20", the process 
froze at one of the wininet DLL tests. This has happened before (see [1]), but 
it only occurs when emulating one of the 16-bit version of Windows (ie "win20", 
"win30" or "win31") and never for other versions. 
 
Sylvain has reported [2] problems with the wininet regression tests. The 
symptoms are the same, but for me the problem is only intermittent. Once I found 
an example of the problem, I haven't been able to reproduce it - even with 
identical CVS trees. 
 
When the problem occurred, I attached gdb to the process and got the following info: 
 
  [...]

               at ../../scheduler/sysdeps.c:108 
 
So, to summarise (with some extra bits of information): 
 
The problem occurs when wininet/tests/http.c is testing asynchronous 
HttpSendRequest() (so flags > 0). The problem is triggered at line 121 of  
http.c, i.e.: 
120    while ((flags)&&(!goon)) 
121        Sleep(100); 
 
Sleep(), in turn, just calls WaitForMultipleObjectsEx(). From  
scheduler/synchro.c: 
176     VOID WINAPI Sleep( DWORD timeout ) 
177     { 
178         WaitForMultipleObjectsEx( 0, NULL, FALSE, timeout, FALSE ); 
179     } 
 
 
WaitForMultipleObjectsEx() has problems when it gets to 257: 
256             SERVER_END_REQ; 
257             if (ret == STATUS_PENDING) ret = wait_reply( &cookie ); 
258             if (ret != STATUS_USER_APC) break; 
 
In this case, ret is 1079729528, btw. 
 
AFAIK, __DTOR_END__ (see near bottom of stack) is the destructor for a 
function call in ntdll. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I 
don't see the connection between scheduler/synchro.c:257 and ntdll. The 
closest is wait_reply() (in scheduler/client.c) calls wait_reply_data (in 
same file), which calls NtCurrentTeb(), which is commented as an NTDLL 
function. But there doesn't seem to be an implementation of NtCurrentTeb 
in ntdll. 
 
HTH 
 
Paul.
