address space deadlock when launching application (WonderBrush)

[stippi]

Trying to track down an Interface Kit bug, I had linked the libbe.so from the generated folder into the WonderBrush lib subfolder and I repeatedly launched WonderBrush with a new build of libbe.so. At one point, WonderBrush would not come up, but just sit there half-started. The rest of the system continued just fine as if nothing happened. I manually entered KDL and took a look a the WonderBrush threads. They seemed to dead lock on the address space rw_lock, but I could not see who was the holder of the lock. I have taken screen shots with a camera. Hopefully I will be able to attach them...

This may be a duplicate of #2710, unless that one is about freezing the entire system. That was not the case for me, I could even shutdown "normally", although WonderBrush was obviously unkillable.

Still reproducible?

Very likely not. :-) I still use WonderBrush very often, and it never locked up in years.
