Looking quickly at the code the problem is that LLL_MUTEX_LOCK (mutex)
fails to acquire the mutex. It can be a bug in atomic.h or a bug in the
futexes implementation of the kernel.

It would be nice to have an strace of the problem to see the futex
syscall before this assertion.

Also a small testcase of the problem would be really helpful to debug
it.
