The code at https://gist.github.com/BenGoldberg1/bc39a9a31eaeb733012a creates many threads for the task of sorting numbers as they are sent to a channel. Roughly twice as many threads are created as there are distinct values. The output should be a list of random numbers, sorted. Instead, it produces a error message; changing the number of element to be sorted causes the error message to change. This leads me to conclude that the problem is memory corruption of some sort. One of the error messages was: Attempt to return outside of any Routine in block <unit> at /tmp/4c1CWudfwj:33 Another error message was: Cannot send a message on a closed channel in block <unit> at /tmp/T9gWZ7YfGJ:33 Another error message was: Cannot receive a message on a closed channel in block <unit> at /tmp/rPtHPIxsTw:33 The funny file names were because I ran the code with camelia, the #perl6 irc bot.
