Package: libthread-pool-simple-perl Version: 0.23-1 Severity: serious Hi,
libthread-pool-simple-perl's tests sometimes go into a deadlock when running inside fakeroot. This can be reproduced by running: ~/libthread-pool-simple-perl-0.23# while fakeroot perl t/2.t ; do true; done The place where it blocks differ each time. For example, I just got it to block at the following places: ok 33 ok 12 ok 1 - use Thread::Pool::Simple; ok 901 stracing the sleeping process gives the following results: * futex(0x525624, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL * futex(0x75f3b4, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL * futex(0x525624, FUTEX_WAIT, 9, NULL I also got it to block in an msgrcv call, but I couldn't reproduce this right now. I could reproduce it: * in an up to date sid i386 chroot running with an amd64 kernel, on a 2-CPU system, using fakeroot * on an amd64 system, 2-CPU system, using fakeroot (without any chroot involved) I could NOT reproduce it: * on my laptop (i386, single CPU), even using fakeroot * without using fakeroot, on amd64 So, I think that it is related to fakeroot AND (smp OR amd64) Or maybe it's related to a specific kernel version. My laptop runs 2.6.21-1-686, while the AMD64 I tested it on are running 2.6.18-3-amd64. I don't have access to an i386 SMP or an AMD64 UP system to investigate further. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
