That is not it, and you did not. Please pay attention: given your assertion that a race condition is a defect that causes an abnormal execution of the program during which the program sees abnormal, incorrect states (read: variable values) it should be easy for you to craft a program that shows evidence of that by either printing those values, or aborting upon detecting them, etc. > > [...] and overall just email bullshit.
