I sent this a few days ago, but RT doesn't seem to have forwarded
it to the list for some reason.

Subject: Failing tests on Linux/x86
I'm seeing a bunch of tests failing on my dual-processor x86;
specifically, I get failures in:
t/op/calling, 1-2
t/op/lexicals, 3-6
t/op/stacks, 23, 51, 53
t/pmc/array, 6-11
t/pmc/coroutine, 2
t/pmc/dumper, 1-5
and then it hangs indefinitely in test 6 in dumper.t
The problem appears to be GC related; if I change the line:
$args .= ' --gc-debug' if $gc_debug;
in t/harness to:
$args .= ' --gc-debug' unless $gc_debug;
(i.e. I switch gc-debug off), then I only get two failures:
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/pmc/timer.t 1 256 7 1 14.29% 2
t/src/hash.t 1 256 10 1 10.00% 6
Since we're not seeing any of these failures in the tinderbox machines,
I suspect that the problem is something specific to my setup. I've
attached my myconfig file below, as well as the output from perl -V
I'm afraid that I don't have a clear idea of when things first started
failing, since this is the first time that I've run the test suite for
quite some time.
