In the critical section of a multithreaded thread, it is not locked, but it is blocking. It occurs frequently in 2 ~ 3 times in 10 and it is only occurred in debug build so far. I have tested about 40,000 times in release build, but it is not reported yet.
The debugging information looks like this: In the first case, It is blocked even though the waiting thread is alone. If you have any experience in this situation, I would appreciate your advice.
