You should grep for "CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT" within later versions of lttng
0.x. Modifications were done to locking to support RT, and without those
the destroy operation was hanging.

If this does not work out for you, you should probably move to LTTng 2.0
prereleases, since LTTng 0.x is not supported anymore.

Thanks,

Mathieu
