Two thoughts. 1. Is it just that the main thread takes longer than 1 second to unlock the mutex? Does the test pass reliably if you increase the 2 in `(+ (current-time) 2)' to, say 5 or 10? Note that you can run just threads.test by: $ meta/uninstalled-env meta/guile test-suite/tests/threads.test 2. Is it something to do with specifying or converting time in the wrong way? (Time zone issue? - could conceivably work better in Europe (where most of the core developers currently are) than in US?) I guess (1) is more likely, so I'll investigate (2) in more detail if (1) doesn't help. Regards, Neil
