      The new checkpoint test uncovered a hang that can occur in the logging code. The job is on tinderbox. The only interesting stack is thread 1:

      Although the local slot variable had been optimized out, I managed to figure out which slot. Here is the slot's contents. Note that it is in a closed state and that the slot has an error set on it.

      (gdb) p/x log->slot_pool[12]
      $8 = {{{slot_state = 0x4000008000000080, slot_unbuffered = 0x0, 
            slot_error = 0x5, slot_start_offset = 0x28bd00, 
            slot_last_offset = 0x28bd00, slot_release_lsn = {l = {offset = 0x28bd00, 
                file = 0x1}, file_offset = 0x10028bd00}, slot_start_lsn = {l = {
                offset = 0x28bd00, file = 0x1}, file_offset = 0x10028bd00}, 
            slot_end_lsn = {l = {offset = 0x28bd80, file = 0x1}, 
              file_offset = 0x10028bd80}, slot_fh = 0x2273e30, slot_buf = {
              data = 0x7f57723a8010, size = 0x0, mem = 0x7f57723a8010, 
              memsize = 0x40000, flags = 0x0}, flags = 0x0}, __padding = {0x80, 0x0, 
            0x0, 0x0, 0x80, 0x0, 0x0, 0x40, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 
            0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xbd, 0x28, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 
            0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xbd, 0x28, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xbd, 0x28, 
            0x0, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xbd, 0x28, 0x0, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x80, 
            0xbd, 0x28, 0x0, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}}}
      

      I am also not sure how/why this closed slot is still the active slot because there are many free slots available.
