So basically the reason CellServ and the other poster did not
experience the crash was that they were not pushing for a high enough
iteration number (CellServ went for 9000+ iterations, but it still did
not trigger an error).<br>
<br>
Thank you all for the attention given to this isse, I gather, from the comments Malc made in the dw thread, that there is a workaround to this issue though or is an appropriate patch what we should look forward to ?<br><br>

I'd submit a patch - but I still can't see what's *consuming* the<br>
stopinfo at the read-side of the pipe - breakpoint @<br>
_event_spe_stop_info_read() doesn't get hit... and also I can't<br>
explain why this isn't hit on the QS21 blades (as reported in the<br>
developerworks thread)<br>

The length of the pipe buffer depends on the page size. PS3's default<br>
page size is 4KB, while the Cell blade's one is 64KB. So if you enlarge<br>
the # of iterations of the test, the same problem will arise on the Cell<br>
blades.<br><font color="#888888">
