[kaffe] thread stress test on smp

[Riccardo]

Hey,

I tried running Noa's test on solaris/sparc SMP with pthreads and jit.

what I did was

1. install kaffe
2 copy the script (slightly modified)
3. run it from inside the regression directory

see it stop after two executions ?

> bash ~/thrtest
Wed Nov 17 17:11:36 MET 2004
Wed Nov 17 17:11:36 MET 2004
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
sleep: bad character in argument
Wed Nov 17 17:11:41 MET 2004
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Time out.  Failure.

I repeated and it failed after 1 run
> bash ~/thrtest
Wed Nov 17 17:17:03 MET 2004
Wed Nov 17 17:17:03 MET 2004
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Success.
Time out.  Failure.

further executions confirm the last result.

And I don't think the cpu is too slow, a 2x HyperSparc should cope such 
a test.

strangely enough the same test doesn't fail during normal regression 
check.
