[Valgrind-users] Helgrind assertion failed

[Martin H. <mar...@ci...>]

Hi all,

when running a program under Helgrind, it has suddenly terminated with
the following output to console:

Helgrind: hg_main.c:2298 (evh__HG_PTHREAD_COND_WAIT_POST): Assertion
'cvi->nWaiters > 0' failed.

Do you have an idea what this could be caused by?

I am using Valgrind version valgrind-3.6.0.SVN-Debian on Ubuntu 10.04
32bit (kernel version 2.6.32-32-generic).


Thanks,
