Two thoughts.
1. Is it just that the main thread takes longer than 1 second to
unlock the mutex? Does the test pass reliably if you increase the 2
in `(+ (current-time) 2)' to, say 5 or 10?
Note that you can run just threads.test by:
$ meta/uninstalled-env meta/guile test-suite/tests/threads.test
2. Is it something to do with specifying or converting time in the
wrong way? (Time zone issue? - could conceivably work better in
Europe (where most of the core developers currently are) than in US?)
I guess (1) is more likely, so I'll investigate (2) in more detail if
(1) doesn't help.
