If machine's thread gets excited (EXIT event is received), we set thread->dead = true and it is later on removed from machine's tree if the pid is reused on new thread.
The latency subcommand holds tree of working atoms sorted by thread's pid/tid. If there's new thread with same pid and tid, the old working atom is found and assert bug condition is hit in search function: thread_atoms_search: Assertion `!(thread != atoms->thread)' failed Changing the sort function to use thread object pointers together with pid and tid check. This way new thread will never find old one with same pid/tid. I think we could change this to the sort based on timestamp of thread creation, once it's added within Namhyung's thread patchset.
