> So we guess there is something wrong with smp on Aix, perhaps caused
> by the schedulers switching. But we don't know where the
> thread_wait_call is from and what it is for.
> By the way, it is quite strange that the smp description of erl shell
> would be smp32:8 with smp auto on the 8 cores aix.
> Is there any hint to fix the problem? Appreciate your help.
