we need to go a bit slower. For now i had to remove robust-futexes from
the -rt17 release because they broke normal (non-robust) futex support
in -rt15. A simple mozilla startup would hang... Please send fixes
against -rt16 and i'll try to re-add the robust futexes patch later on.
You can find -rt16 at:

this patch looks much cleaner than the earlier one, but there's one more
step to go: now that we've got the futex_head in every vma, why not hang
all robust futexes to the vma, and thus get rid of ->robust_list and
->robust_sem from struct address_space?
