    Before this patch, reproduced the pb in less than 2 minutes with:
    # time (log=/tmp/$$.log; while true; do echo service_autotest |taskset
    -c 0-1 build-gcc-static/app/test/dpdk-test --log-level *:8 -l 0-1
    >$log 2>&1; grep -q 'Test OK' $log || break; done; cat $log; rm -f
    $log)
    
    With the patch, this loop has been running for 40 minutes.
    
    Applied, thanks.
