[Vm-dev] Oddd image lock-up on Unix

Hi Guys -

We just had a very strange image lockup on our server. After a variety 
of attempts to connect to the image we finally fired up gdb and had the 
image do a printAllStacks. The dump is attached below, what is 
interesting is that it appears as if the Delay mutex was entered but not 
left successfully, e.g.,

Process
-1737213740 Semaphore>critical:
-1755652204 Delay class>timerInterruptWatcher
-1755651864 [] in Delay class>startTimerInterruptWatcher

Process
-1737212772 Semaphore>critical:
-1737212956 Delay>unschedule
-1737226548 Semaphore>waitTimeoutMSecs:

And from there things go downhill quickly. The one change that I did do 
in this image was to include Tim's "large delay fix" and I am wondering 
if that may be related to it?

In any case, if anyone has ever seen something similar, I'd really 
appreciate finding out more about it. Seeing how it keeps things just 
entirely locked is quite disturbing.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
