Not sure what you mean - I'd posted that Im seeing the issue on ARC Linux (an FPGA
board) 3.11-rc7 as well as linux-next of yesterday.

> Which LTP release do you use?

The LTP build I generally use is from a 2007 based sources (lazy me). However I
knew this would come up so before posting, I'd built the latest from buildroot and
ran the msgctl08 from there standalone and it did the same thing.

It was already there in my orig msg - you probably missed it.

I tried linux-next of today, same deal - msgctl08 still hangs.
