Re: timed condition variable patch

Hello,

There is a very rare condition in Cyg_Condition_Variable::wait_inner(
Cyg_Mutex *mx, cyg_tick_count timeout ) that causes the "Unnecessary call to
unlock_inner()" assertion to fail.
This looks familiar.

Nick, I seem to recall I discussed this with you IRL in the Red Hat office about this, or something similar - i.e. what happens about timers that trigger "now" or in the past, and I think it was also in the context of select(). Do you remember what the outcome was? I can't find any kernel change resulting certainly, but then I can't remember the problem :-).

Here is a patch for this problem.  It is based off of the 2.0 snapshot
source.
I'd probably prefer to include the if conditional in the " if( self->get_wake_reason() == Cyg_Thread::NONE )" test further up. But I can change that later, depending on what Nick says.
