Just to let you know I'm working on it. This will take some time.
During debugging I stumbled over a heisenbug. As soon as I remove the
"Thread %i woke up just fine" printf from your test application, the
read function reurns with a "Bad address" error. So far I have onlya
vague hunch what the cause may be. Stay tuned.
