I assume the LOCKED bit in *he is actually set when gdb looks at it?  What does
the rest of the hash entry look like?  That might give you a hint as to the
culprit.

Clearly someone sets the LOCKED bit on a hash entry and neglects to clear it. 
If a compare_and_swap succeeded but returned failure anyway, that might explain
it.  A misimplementation of release_set might also cause the problem.  I don't
immediately see how this can be explained by a memory ordering issue.
