First attempt at scheduling alarms a little cleaner: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13437
In hindsight, I don't think this ever comes into play for the doctest you're looking at. There, timeout==0, so p_iter_fork never schedules SIGALRMs. The signal that is interfering must be coming from elsewhere. However, I think GDB might influence the behaviour of signals in system calls. A SIG_IGN would normally not interrupt a system call. It's quite possible that GDB installs a handler that simply passes through your handler. If that is SIG_IGN, it might be that the system call still decides to EINTR. Anyway, you can try if the above ticket helps on bsd. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
