After digging and finding that diablo's arm kernel does not provide reliable futex commands I'm wondering if this is a kernel bug that is being tripped up in specific cases. Modest seems to be doing it in some cases, but I wonder what's causing the meltdown here?

I would ask the simple question... does the problem reoccur when you are in offline mode? I know there should be no difference, but I still keep thinking that it could be a bug in the ICD.

here is the Modest bug for reference.
