I traced down the problem to the following short test (similar to dispatch_api):

#include <dispatch/dispatch.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "dispatch_test.h"

void
work(void *context __attribute__((unused)))
{
    printf("[PASS] doing some work\n");
    test_stop();
}

int
main(void)
{
    test_start("Dispatch After");

    //dispatch_queue_t default_q = dispatch_get_global_queue(0, 0);
    //test_ptr_notnull("dispatch_get_global_queue", default_q);
    //// work all:
    //dispatch_after_f(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, default_q, NULL, work);
    //dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0), default_q, NULL, work);
    //dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 1 * NSEC_PER_SEC), default_q, NULL, work);

    dispatch_queue_t main_q = dispatch_get_main_queue();
    test_ptr_notnull("dispatch_get_main_queue", main_q);
    // works:
    //dispatch_after_f(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, main_q, NULL, work);
    //dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0), main_q, NULL, work);
    // doesn't work:
    dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 1 * NSEC_PER_SEC), main_q, NULL, work);

    dispatch_main();
    return 0;
}

those dispatch_after_f calls that are commented out, do work. however, the last one, results
in _dispatch_wakeup to be called endlessly which tries to get the lock, fails, and returns NULL.

ciao,
