localtime_r是localtime的线程安全版本,在localtime的手册中描述如下:
Attention: Do not use the ctime, localtime, gmtime, or asctime subroutine in a multithreaded
environment. See the multithread alternatives in the ctime_r (ctime_r, localtime_r, gmtime_r, or
asctime_r Subroutine), localtime_r, gmtime_r, or asctime_r subroutine article.

所有的线程都在试图获取锁,进程处于死锁状态。目前AIX工程师给出的临时解决方案是将环境变量TZ设置为BEIST,
export TZ=BEIST
之后再运行测试程序就没有死锁的现象。由于TZ是一个系统环境变量,修改之后可能会引起其他系统出问题.
