I am not sure what this means - it could be a hidden race condition, the algorithm might need some jitter to work or it could still be a simulator issue.

The epoch.exe test now runs on both SPARC and RISC-V for 3 and 4 cpus. To pass on 2 cpus, a smaller time-slice in the simulator is needed, e.g. -d 17. Feel free to test...

Thanks for your update, I cloned the repository and it builds fine on my 
machine. The instruction trace is really nice. If I have a bit of time I 
will try to figure out why the EBR algorithm ends up in the endless loop.
