Recently I've had sporadic hangs during the precompilation phase of one of my projects. I've managed to golf it to a very obscure set of conditions involving 6 (!) modules and three libs. 1. tar xvf RMD_bug.tgz 2. cd RMD 3. RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 perl6 -Ilib1 -Ilib2 -Ilib3 -e 'need Lib1' # hangs forever It hangs at: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/4a0ba7400be5af3dfdd88ad2114e13498645ba39/src/core/Process.pm#L7 I tried to see what causes it to hang at the line. I found that if I replace that note with $*ERR.print("a" x 162) # doesn't hang but if I do: $*ERR.print("a" x 163) # Hangs forever *It doesn't happen on debian* *Make sure to rm -rf lib1/.precomp each time you try* This is Rakudo version 2016.02-100-g4a0ba74 built on MoarVM version 2016.02-8-ga329e2d implementing Perl 6.c.
