The hanging behavior appears to be intermittent. I haven't been able
to identify conditions under which it reliably occurs. I realize this
is a TODO test, but it shouldn't hang. Perhaps it should just be skipped.
Probably so. I have an idea what it is, but I haven't quite fixed it yet.
Does the attached patch make the test pass, or at least not take up so much
memory?

Alas, no. Today I couldn't get stm/llqueue_2.pir to hang. It just exited
with a "PANIC: Out of mem" error with or without your suggested patch.
I have no idea what that means. And if I can't pin it down any better
than that, I don't exepct there's much you can do, unless it's failing for
you too.
It fails for me too (MacOSX 10.4.9, Intel Core 2 Duo), but it was marked
as TODO for the release.

chromatic, your patch does seem to fix the problem for me, but then so
does running 'make realclean'. (I've been getting intermittent test
hangs with STM on various different tests for a few weeks now, and they
always go away when I run 'realclean'. And, when I set out to track them
down, they disappear.)
