            Bug ID: 16549
           Summary: pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait do not
                    suspend the calling thread
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nptl
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

source file to reproduce the problem

the two functions

pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait

do not suspend the calling thread if the condition variable has a misaligned
address.

attached find the source code to reproduce the problem as well as a file
describing my current software configuration.

to compile 

gcc -g3 -pthread -o cond_ex cond_example.c

then run the program and watch the cpu load with 

top -p <process id>

should see the waiter tread continuously running instead of sleeping.

to remove the problem compile with

gcc -D_ALIGNED -g3 -pthread -o cond_ex cond_example.c

the followings are some system information of my linux machine
