Are you using trunk libobjc2?  This test passes for me (also passes on OS X).  
I thought I puts timeouts in the correct places for it to timeout and give up, 
rather than deadlock, but maybe I missed one.  Probably the easiest thing to do 
is just add a call to alarm() so that the test gets a signal and dies after 10 
seconds if it hasn't already finished (takes about 3 seconds to run correctly - 
there's lots of sleeping in there to make sure that the threads have definitely 
caught up with each other).
