Thats true, but for me its failing as MainLWLockArray contains Junk value.
Now the point to look out is why its passing on some of the build farm m/c's.
I will study about this more, if you have anything specific in mind
then, do let me know.

Can I get the details of m/c env on which it is passing like which
windows version and msvc version?
It might give some clue.
