This is a known race condition -- for a patch, see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6374 The patch *should* fix the issue, but since it's an intermittent problem, it's hard to know that it's *completely* fixed. This was merged during 4.0.2, but somehow we mixed up merge trees and it wasn't in the final release. I asked to get it into the last release, but it still didn't make it ... maybe it'll make it in again soon? I marked the ticket "needs review," but as I say on the ticket, it's actually been reviewed once. It felt like cheating to make a new ticket and list it as "with positive review." :) -cc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
