Mac OS X ptrace() mutex handling DoS due to destroyed mutex, leading to a race condition and denial of service (DoS)

Code

                                                /*
  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.
