/*
  Mac OS X 10.5.6-10.6.1 ptrace() mutex handling DoS 
  ==================================================
  This code should be run in a loop and due to problems 
  with mutex handling in ptrace a DoS can occur when a 
  destroyed mutex is attempted to be interlocked by OSX 
  kernel giving rise to a race condition. You may need
  to run this code multiple times.
  
  - Tested against 10.5.6
  - Tested against 10.5.7
  - Tested against 10.6.1
