AIO is not in the file. (I am not sure that this is the right conclusion. After all, opensuse has /lib/libaio.so.1 & /lib/libaio.so.1.0.1 indicating that AIO is supported. It may be more likely that the AIO works fine, but the signal gets sent before the handler is set up. And that makes it sit waiting for a signal that does not arrive. So a rewrite of the test program might be the real solution.) > > 2. Your patch inspired me to check for other instances of 'sleep' in > the Parrot configuration system.
