[Openmcl-devel] Sanity check

[Gary Byers]

I was able to reproduce the hang (or at least "a hang") by deleting my

far as I can see it's been there for a long time.

Things seem to be better as of r14363.

The only situation in which this doesn't hang 100% reliably is in the 32-bit app when it's the very first thing I do.  It's almost certainly a race condition because this:
