it means that lock() (/sys/src/9/port/taslock.c:/^lock) is looping way too much
in rendezvous.  0x37a34 is in rendezvous.s.

i don't know fossil or venti very well.  it would be hard to say what is wrong with
the threading here without some serious groveling.  my wild guess would be that
there are three processes (21 26 23) at the same rendezvous point at the same time.
rendezvous works for two processes.

i wonder why libventi doesn't use the thread library?
