- It does not prevent a deadlock from happening in a program with circular lock dependencies.
- A chain of blocking may be formed; blocking duration can be substantial, though bounded.

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On, has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge (18721933)
“An interesting play cannot in the nature of things mean anything but a play in which problems of conduct and character of personal importance to the audience are raised and suggestively discussed.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“I respect guilt. It is a dangerous but sometimes useful beast. The guilt that made me want to solve all my childrens problems meant trouble. The guilt that made me question my role in our mother-daughter squabbles proved helpful. Yes, I care about my kids problems, and I long to make suggestions. But these days I wait for children to ask for help, and I give it sparingly. Some things cant be fixed, and I tell them so.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
