    Description

      After a seemingly innocuous change (https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/commit/57a103372f4ad5a763978d3a9aa0cc5e69ab635b), __wt_log_slot_join started hanging.

      On further investigation, it turns out the code was relying on a side effect of calling __wt_random that the compiler couldn't figure out what slot would be used at compile time. After the change, optimized builds were caching the value of slot->slot_state and never noticing when the slot became available.

      We need to force slot->slot_state to be read each iteration by marking the field volatile.
