/**
* This test program triggers a single race condition on variable s_y.
* Although another variable (s_x) is also modified by both threads, no race
* condition must be reported on this variable since it is only accessed via
* atomic instructions.
*
* Note: for the i386 and x86_64 memory models, thread 2 must print y = 1.
* On PPC however, both y = 0 and y = 1 are legal results. This is because
* the PPC memory model allows different CPU's to observe stores to variables
* in different cache lines in a different order.
