/* We realy want to set threads to 2 to reproduce this issue. The goal
   is to have one primary writer and a single reader, and to hit the
   bug that happens in the interleaving of those two phase transitions.
   However, on most hardware, adding a second writer seems to help the
   interleaving happen slightly more often, say 20% of the time.  On a
   16 core ppc64 machine this fails 100% of the time with an unpatched
   glibc.  On a 8 core x86_64 machine this fails ~93% of the time, but
   it doesn't fail at all on a 4 core system, so having available
   unloaded cores makes a big difference in reproducibility.  On an 8
   core qemu/kvm guest the reproducer reliability drops to ~10%.  */
