The OS is HP-UX B.11.00, 32-bit mode.  The
test machine is nugget.mcom.com.  The NSPR
release is 3.1.1.

The sel_spd test hangs on nugget.mcom.com
(both debug and optimized builds).  However,
it does not hang when running on the machine
orville.mcom.com.

By the way, orville.mcom.com is a 4-CPU machine.
I don't know how many CPUs nugget.mcom.com has.

The sel_spd test (optimized build) hangs on AIX 4.2.

The bug is in the test itself.  The test calls
PR_Wait without checking the predicate
(_thread_exit_count > 0).  So if _thread_exit_count
is 0, the PR_Wait call will never return.

The fix is to add a while loop around the PR_Wait
call.
