Package: perl Version: 5.8.8-7etch1 Severity: serious To my knowledge, this bug only occurs on sparc in an etch chroot, possibly only when running newer kernels. I cannot reproduce it with the sid chroot on sperger.
Running the test manually results in: (etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$ ./perl ../ext/threads/t/stress_re.t 1..64 ok 1 ok 2 - ok 3 - Multiple thread test ok 4 - Multiple thread test ok 5 - Multiple thread test ok 6 - Multiple thread test ok 7 - Multiple thread test ok 8 - Multiple thread test ok 9 - Multiple thread test ok 10 - Multiple thread test ok 11 - Multiple thread test ok 12 - Multiple thread test ok 13 - Multiple thread test ok 14 - Multiple thread test ok 15 - Multiple thread test ok 16 - Multiple thread test ok 17 - Multiple thread test ok 18 - Multiple thread test ok 19 - Multiple thread test ok 20 - Multiple thread test ok 21 - Multiple thread test ok 22 - Multiple thread test (etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$ echo $? 0 (etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$ The point at which the Perl process is terminated (IOW, number of lines printed) varies from invocation to invocation. spontini, the sparc security build daemon, is similarly affected: building perl sporadically fails as well, and it remains to be seen if we can get it it to pass. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
