Hi! I did some changes in expect.py, but apparently not so well, because then sage -t -verbose -force_lib "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/expect.py" sometimes (not always) resulted in a dead lock. But at least, the test was still interruptible by Ctrl-C.
So, I thought everything was fine, but "ps ax | grep python" revealed that it wasn't: The sage-cleaner script was still present, but marked as "S". And there were three further python processes marked as "D". While the sage-cleaner process could be removed by "kill", this won't work for the other three python processes. My question is not about the dead lock (I guess I can solve it myself), but about the zombie processes: Have you encountered before that interrupting a hanging test is problematic? Where could I start looking at for debugging the creation of zombies?
