Yes, sorry about that! I was just about to write that this should have
been &ts on x86. Since x86 seems to pass also structures >8 bytes by
value.

However on s390 it is passed by reference. So even it I change ts to &ts,
it will hang as I described.

So you are saying this works on x86 and it must be some s390 specific bug?
