Oh, of course.  I should have put here the VERBOSE output even before.
It has still the same non-deterministic behavior as was described before -
it fails always after different number of steps, sometimes it gets into
infinite loop.

I'm attaching tarball with several runs of the test/test_stack program.

Ok, could you point me where should I look?  I have tried the
"compare_and_swap", "test_and_set", "fetch_and_add" low-level calls and
they works well with 5+ threads.

Note, I don't have the access to the same machine as before at the moment,
I need to make an reservation and it may take even days -> attached logs
are from another powerpc machine with same HW (Fedora 16):

  $ rpm -q automake autoconf gcc glibc
  automake-1.11.1-7.fc16.noarch
  autoconf-2.68-2.fc15.noarch
  gcc-4.6.2-1.fc16.ppc64
  glibc-2.14.90-24.fc16.6.ppc64
  glibc-2.14.90-24.fc16.6.ppc

  $ head /proc/cpuinfo
