On two machines I have seen test_threading hang in ...
HPUX 11.22 ia64,
Solaris 5.8 sparc
The attached file contains the output of running
./apy/bin/python2.5 ./apy/lib/python2.5/test/regrtest.py -v test_threading
on the problematic machines.
It is necessary to kill one of the subprocesses to force forward
progress. A partial output of 'ps -ef' on the HPUX machine is
andreask 26601 26552 0 12:13:50 pts/1 0:00 ./apy/bin/python2.5
./apy/lib/python2.5/test/regrtest.py -v tes
andreask 26657 26601 0 12:14:26 pts/1 0:00
/home/andreask/tmp/autotest/apy/bin/python2.5 -c if 1:^J
andreask 26658 26657 0 12:14:26 pts/1 0:00
/home/andreask/tmp/autotest/apy/bin/python2.5 -c if 1:^J
And I usually kill the bottom most process.
