Two bugs in the ERTS internal thread wakeup functionality have been fixed. These bugs mainly hit when all threads in the system tried to go to sleep. When the bugs were triggered, certain operations were delayed until a thread woke up due to some other reason. Most important operations effected were code loading, persistent term updates, and memory deallocation.
