scheduling, where the scheduler order may differ after reaching a
divergence point. This is caused by the fairness support which is hacked
into Node creation, so threads may gain priority sooner in the presence
of a useless Node. In fact, before this change, (almost?) every
execution caused a thread (typically thread 1) to gain priority due to
fairness. Now, we reach this condition much more occasionally.

the execution of:
# ./run.sh test/linuxrwlocks.o -f 10 -m 2
