That's just a missing check in our implementation and something that few
applications will encounter, if any.  There is this one here:

  <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19004>

It contains a kernel patch.

I thought that there were more issues in the current implementation, but
I can't a record of them. 8-(

There is a nasty one in my inbox with a kernel patch fixing it, which I
still need to review with all futex brain cells activated:
