Thanks for that report, Matt. I saw a very similar error when I tried
to remove the threading subsystem entirely in a branch. I saw the same
failures as you are seeing, but not initially. This suggests to me
that some recent modifications and cleanups in the Timer PMC and
elsewhere might have created an unintentional dependency on some of
the threading code.
The problem was a recently added test that was not being skipped when
no threads like the other similar tests in t/pmc/timer.t
I've located the problem that makes them fail if no threads in the
scheduler sleep function and is easily fixable, but there is no time
to extensively test the fix before the release, so I've just skipped
that test.
great job! and i'm now glad i didn't expend much time investigating the
failure, since i'd never have thought that was the problem :-)
all tests are now passing with flying colours (on Fedora 14, amd64).
thanks!
